A Day at the Patch

On Saturday, we spent the morning at Burt's Pumpkin Patch in the North Georgia Mountains. We always get up super early to beat the rush because Burt's is a very popular place to visit this time of year. When we got there, the girls had a great time playing in the big pumpkins...a crowd favorite. Some of them are bigger and heavier than our girls. Then we always spend time looking for a cute baby pumpkin as well. We went on the hayride with yummy popcorn treats and slushies. And when we got off the hayride, it was time to search for the perfect pumpkin. We found on pretty quickly this year. The crop was HUGE compared to years past. We noticed it at the apple orchard as well and most of the farmers attribute it to a rainy summer...which we haven't had in several years. So, we loaded up our pumpkin in the wheelbarrow and went to find a few smaller ones the girls could paint. After we found those, we checked out and headed over to Amicalola Falls State Park...just in time to miss the growing crowd. We played on the playground and had a yummy lunch at the picnic tables. On the way home, mommy requested that we stop at the apple orchard one more time for some more apples and, of course, a fried apple pie!! The girls (and us!!) spent the rest of the day relaxing from our fun and busy morning.
