Pumpkin Patch Fail

I thought it would be a fun family activity for us to all go to a pumpkin patch last weekend. When we pulled into the parking lot, we saw a couple trying to get into their car. Apparently they had lost their keys in the corn maze the night before and were back with their dad to try and break into the car. Alan walked over to see if he could help, and 45 minutes later Alan succeed in getting the trunk open. Then it was just a simple matter of pushing down the back seat enough for Elsie to crawl through and climb to the front seat to open the door.

 After standing outside in the wind for that long, the girls were FREEZING. I didn't expect it to be that cold so we didn't bundle them up as much as we could have. It wasn't all that cold outside, but the wind made everything at least 15 degrees colder. (Maybe I'm exaggerating, but it was COLD.) We went inside the little barn and got a cookie warm from the oven to try and warm the girls up.

 By the time they had thawed out, it was getting close to nap time. Add that to the fact that it was still super windy and cold, we decided not to go all the way out into the pumpkin patch. We chose a few of the already picked pumpkins and called it a day.

So that's the story of how we went to the pumpkin patch but didn't actually go to the pumpkin patch. I guess there is always next year...
