Dean's Farm Market & Pumpkin Patch

Aaron's been very busy at work lately, often having to go in on weekends, but we were able to squeeze in a trip to the pumpkin patch the last Saturday before Halloween!  This farm is in Wilson, NC and has so many great things for a family outing! 

We checked out the market first, which include tons of pumpkins, gourds, hay bales, and fresh preserves.  The kids had a great time exploring before we took a hayride around the entire farm.  They included a Spookly scavenger hunt, and Will had a great time keeping an eye out for his favorite square pumpkin as we rode along.

Enjoying our breezy, bumpy ride!

 First stop, the little pumpkin patch.  Each kid gets to pick a pumpkin as part of the ride.  Will and Meredith enjoyed making their selections, before climbing back in the wagon.

Next stop, the barnyard to see some of the animals.  Meredith squealed over the little goats, and Will made friends with the donkey.

Attempt number one at a family photo... someone was not happy about saying goodbye to the animals!

 But the fun continued with a tractor/"train" ride!  Will was pretty pumped to ride "Little Thomas."

There was a huge playground we didn't get a chance to explore, before we had to get back for a friend's birthday party.  But that will give us something to look forward to next year!  Happy Fall, y'all!
