Trip to the Pumpkin Patch





Chelsea and I were in great need to get out of the city, so on our day off I looked up and found a pumpkin patch, corn maze, and hayride place up in Maryland about an hour outside of DC. The view as we drove closer were amazing. It was great to see fields, barns, and horses. 



My first corn maze...........

and I tripped and feel in a hole because I was looking at the map and not paying attention.


Chelsea had to get every punch there was

This is her at the last marker before we could get out

The final path out of the maze

Kids activity area includes a mini maze with hay bales, a teepee made of corn stalks, something made out of tires to climb on
The entrance tent and the snack shop where we bought some cider - store bought :( and pumpkin bread (which was pretty darn good)



The animals which you CAN NOT PET! :( Some pigs, turkeys, a  goat and a cow. I could care less that they had them since I can't pet them. Poor city people have probably never been that close to animals like they had. 

A view of the corn field

Some of the first pumpkins I saw. I didn't go for the ones close to the entrance, those are the ones that are picked over. I went to the other side and found lots of small pumpkins.


LOTS of pumpkins! It was pretty neat to see all the pumpkins but as you can see there are lots of people here. 

I like this picture! You can barely see any people, just a little bit of some person's legs. 

This is how I found my pumpkin just sitting on top of another one rocking an awesome hair-do



This is him before he got a hair cut. He is just perfect for my little dorm room

cute lil photo opt with my pumpkin after his hair cut

The pumpkin and my 3 dollar target wicker pumpkin. I was so excited when I bought the wicker one. I love wicker! don't they look cute together.
