Pumpkins!

Of course we planned to get a little farther in our expedition to the pumpkin patch today.

Heather told us about Ashland Berry Farm and said it was wonderful, so we packed up and took the kids. Only, we should have left earlier...like yesterday!

We were not prepared for the amount of cars in the massive parking lot, or for the 30 minute wait to get on the hayride that takes you to the pumpkin patch.

So...we bribed the kids and told them we would get ice cream instead, and try again another day.

The place closed at 5pm, and since we were in line at 3:45, we would have had very little time to take in all of the sights.

Luckily for us though, the entrance is decorated with the most beautiful gardens complete with waterfalls and fish, and gorgeous plants.

There is also a gift shop and the place where you actually buy your pumpkins.

The kids were great and I took several beautiful pictures before we headed back down the rather long road.

We will have to do it again, and next time we will start earlier in the day. Clearly it is a wonderful experience since there were easily 100 people in the long winding line in front of us.
