Hall's Pumpkin Farm.

Ever since we visited the field filled with pumpkins, I've been on a quest to find a decent, kid friendly, real pumpkin patch.  Last weekend we visited Hall's Pumpkin Farm in Grapevine. The place was packed (we did go on a Sunday evening), but there was so much to do!

The Hall family has clearly been in the "pumpkin patch" business for a while.  They had dozens of cute spots staged for parents to drop little ones and take pictures.  Of course, we're pretty much at the age where the only pictures I can capture are Ben running away, but I appreciated their efforts and made mental notes for next year.

 

Although Ben was much too busy to be bothered with picture taking, we still got a few cute shots.  He loved riding the old tractors.

Not one, but TWO old tractors to drive!

Gramma and Grampa came with us, too.  Not only is it fun to make sweet memories with them, it's helpful to have three additional sets of hands to help wrangle Ben while I'm snapping pictures.

They have a petting zoo, too!

 And a hay house.  Fun!

Of course, Ben was a little small for the corn maze.  The hay rides out into the actual pumpkin patch (where you get to see more animals and real cows- "Meeeeeeewwwww!") didn't start until 5:00pm, and Ben didn't last that long. If you're planning a visit, check the website for hay ride times before you go. I'm thinking we'll definitely go back next year.
