Last night it rained, poured, drenched all our hopes of a dry trip to the Pumpkin Patch at Lakeview Farms, but we awoke with renewed enthusiasm as the sun beamed through our blinds. I just could not imagine enduring a cold, wet, muddy trip to the farm with 16 kids in tow! Alas, the weather decided to cooperate and it was a beautiful day. We were greeted at the farm store by a lovely woman who ushered the kids and adults in and gave us a lesson on how wheat becomes flour and flour becomes bread. After getting our tickets, we boarded the train, a child-sized metallic wonder from which I feared catapultion (is that a word?) at the slightest bump. The train clicked along the track, through a "haunted" tunnel and left us at the pumpkin patch, alone with the kids and a wheelbarrow. The kids were each allowed to pick a soccer-sized pumpkin, run rampant through a hay maze and then we were jetted back to the other shore by ferry (complete with lake monster sightings!) The day ended with lunch at McDonald's where our boisterous group raised many a local eyebrow! Good times!
