Let's go to the Pumpkin Patch!
Pumpkin patches are a nostalgic way to make special seasonal memories with your kids. Between the cooler weather, beautiful shades of green and orange, leaves changing and the fact that it’s not miserable to be outdoors, it’s my favorite time of year!
Depending on the ages and interests of your children as well as the amount of time you have available, different locations will provide a better experience for your family.
Read on to see what you can expect at each of the different locations from the instagram post I posted last week!
