Everyday Is Like Saturday

This weekend, we met our friends out at the Jubilee Farm for the first pumpkin patch of the year. The weather was beautiful and gave D a chance to try out his new (sort of) rubber boots. And quickly gave us a chance to spend the entire trip picking up the boot he chucked off of his foot. Ah well, lesson learned. We arrived in time to meet Andy, Jen, Sophie and little Elinor for some watermelon launching from a giant trebuchet and then boarded the hay ride out to the pumpkin patch. It was really nice to be there so early in the month because it meant there were lots of picture perfect pumpkins waiting for the picking. Along with super cute photo ops of Dooz and his adorable friend Sophie. It’s so wrong, but Jen and I can’t help but joke about a possible future for the two. I SAID it was wrong, didn’t I?

The farm itself was really great. It’s not as big as Remlinger and not as basic as Craven, it was just right. It’s a working organic farm with cider demonstrations, animals, pony rides, horse pulled hay rides to the patch and organic food. It really is just perfect for the younger kids to allow them to have a great time without totally overwhelming them.

And, feat of all feats, we were able to see the animals, ride out the patch and back without any meltdowns or food freak outs. I have to say it was a success and the boy totally crashed out the minute we sat him in the car seat. Aaah fall, I love it!
