This last Saturday (10/20/12), we took a little family trip to Long Grove, IA to visit the Pride of the Waspi Pumpkin Patch! (Calling it a trip is a bit of a stretch, it was only about 25 minutes away.) The weather was beautiful and we had a fun time enjoying the crisp fall day, chasing Colton all over the place, and enjoying the fun fall festivities. I decided that it will probably be a little more fun when Colton is a bit older and can enjoy the bouncy houses, pony rides, and other "bigger" kid activities, but it was a fun family outing. I took Colton on the barrel train, which he loved, and we took a big wagon ride out to the pumpkin patch. Colton LOVES the pumkins. He could have played in the pumpkin area of the festival all day if we let him! He also spent some time running around in the straw bales and looking at the animals in the petting zoo. (No way he'd ever actually touch one!) He thought the bunnies were pretty great though and got pretty excited any time they moved. We finished the day off with some delicious cotton candy (my favorite!) and some samples of scrumptious kettle corn.
