So Cara came home with some free tickets to a kind of local Pumpkin Patch. It was more south (which is nice, because, as I mentioned, I'd like to explore more events that are more south), but not too far. The best part was with the 2 free tickets and Pierce being free, it means it was a cheap outing, cheap and super fun!
The place was called Jaker's and they had corn pits, a "haunted" cave, big slides, corn maze, hay ride, and we got to pick out our pumpkins! We kind of split off when we first got there, the girls wanted to be in the corn pits while Pierce wanted to walk around so I took him to the big slide that he loved.
Eventually the girls and Larry joined us and we explored more together. We got to the corn maze and the kids were rushing it and arguing so I had to put my mom foot down and tell them that we were there to have fun and make memories and if they were going to fight we'd just head home and they'd lose out on screens the rest of the day. That totally worked and they were on such good behavior the rest of the day.
We let the kids each take a turn deciding which direction we should go when we got to a "fork" in the maze and I think that made it more fun. It took us a bit to get out, but not as long as I would've thought.

I think everyone really liked the hay ride and once we finished we looked around for pumpkins and bought those and left.
As we were leaving they gave us coupons for their Christmas Market they have during that time and we got 2 more free tickets so score! It ended up being a really fun place and I'm really excited to come back during Christmas time to see what that is like!
