I’ve always wanted to take Charlie to a Pumpkin Patch. For our family Pumpkin Patches are a event my family hasn’t ever had the opportunity to attend.
With Charlie turning 8 I let David know we needed to visit a Pumpkin Patch this year. Because Charlie may think he is too old next year to visit Pumpkin Patches with us.
The reason I believe Charlie may feel that way is because Pumpkin Patches usually have activities geared towards younger children and there may not have things geared towards Charlie’s age as he is getting older and his tastes are changing. If it’s God’s will we will be visiting at least one Pumpkin Patch and if it’s possible I would like to visit as many Pumpkin Patches as possible.
If your looking for a Pumpkin Patch to visit as well here are Pumpkin Patches local to the Dallas/ Fort Worth area. If these Pumpkin Patches do not appeal to you just Google Pumpkin Patches and Google will pull up a list of Pumpkin Patches for you to check out.
In the meantime, if you have been to a Pumpkin Patch what did you like about them? What didn’t you like about visiting Pumpkin Patches? Would you go back or not? Which Pumpkin Patch is your favorite to visit and why do you feel that way?
