Pumpkin Patch? Yes, please.

Being the good parents that we are, we decided to take Bennett to a pumpkin patch. For me, pumpkin patches are a total thrill- no pumpkin patches in Vegas that aren't in an Albertson's parking lot -so of course I take advantage of having a child to do all the things I secretly want to do....So, this morning, after realizing we were having a brief reprieve from the rain, we packed up Bennett and went to Spooner's Farm in Puyallup. Bennett had a much better time this year than last year (I know, what a shock that 5 week old Bennett didn't have a blast at the corn maze we took him to!). The farm was pretty crowded, especially for a Sunday morning at 11, but it was easy to see why - homemade donuts, a small pumpkin patch for little ones, animals, pony rides, and did I mention donuts? Also, there was no admission fee, so score one for Nick! Anyway, Bennett had a good time (until he started to have nap time breakdowns), and, after a rigorous testing process, picked out three perfect pumpkins ....
