Usually we go to Apple Annie's, but this year we opted for a change. I can't remember the last time we didn't go to Apple Annie's, so that was kind of sad for us to break tradition. But Katelyn's class was going to a patch we hadn't heard of, it was a little closer, so we decided to try it out. They had a hay maze, a petting zoo and lots of other fun things that Apple Annie's didn't have. However, their pumpkin patch was so bad. The sticky, pokey weeds were taller than the adults and we had to hack our way through. The kids were so miserable! It was awful. I wondered if it had anything to do with the fact that they had a "vote for Obama" table set up. Boo hiss. Anyway, most of it was a lot of fun, but I would have been happy to take the hay ride around the patch, and pick one from the little store they had set up. Good times. And it was a lot of fun, because everyone (but Jer and Jana and family sniff, sniff) were there. We missed you guys!!!!!!!
