A Pumpkin hunting we will go (Part 3, finale)
Continuation from Part 1 and Part 2.
The weather was getting warmer and it was close to lunch time. We rested a bit and had the girls drink from the juice boxes.
Waiting for our hay ride.
The hayride was in a truck and yes, we got to sit on bales of hay.
We rode under a trellis of variety gourds. I don’t mind having something like this at home.
Pumpkins can only be grown in a certain plot for 3 years. After the 3rd year, that plot of land needs to be rotated with a different crop. This is definitely no Farm Town or Farmville.
Sunflower Field. There were at least 2 types of sunflowers grown in that farm.
Then we came upon the most gorgeous field filled with Mums. The photos do not do its justice. If we could just get out of that hayride and snap photos at a lower level, it would be much better.
The hayride was bumpy and this is the only clear shot we have.

Sun worshipers.
Another ride, Hayride to Butterfly Valley. I think everyone was conned into it. We expected to see butterflies fluttering in the fields but all we saw were fake plastic butterflies attached onto corn stalks. Oh, and there weren’t any hay bales in that ride. By far the most boring ride but we were educated about butterfly life cycle. This ride was the most bumpy ride in the farm. Here is Cass enjoying the bumps:
A view from the back.
Cass was laughing one minute and then there was silence. I looked down and saw this…
While Cass napped in the stroller, Daddy and Belle went on to the mini train ride.
Cass took a cat nap. We then snacked on White Chocolate & Macadamia nut cookies, which I’d baked the day before, and sugar loaded blue icy. We decided to snack first and get our lunch after we’re done with all the rides and attractions. Belle finally got to ride her pony. It was the most pathetic ride and the most expensive too! That ride cost us 5 bucks and they only walked the pony for 1 and a half round.
It was getting hot and we were tired. We zipped through Storybook Path and Bootsie the Bee corn mazes, and didn’t bother to take any photos. By the time we were done, it was 1pm. We’ve enjoyed going through this farm. If we were to go there again, it would just be for the Hayride, Carousel and the Pumpkins. But then again, we might go to a different pumpkin patch next year.
