Going to the pumpkin patch is definitely one of our favorite family fall traditions. (Say that 10 times fast!) When we lived in Michigan, we had our favorites, and we went there year after year. Texas was hard move for us when it came to fall activities, but we managed to find one that would suffice. Needless to say, I was thrilled when we moved to upstate New York, because I knew we would be back in pumpkin patch territory! I have not been disappointed--none of us have!
This year we traveled about an hour and a half to a cute little town called Ellicottville. The drive was so scenic, it was lovely! There's usually a lot going on there, all year round. This particular pumpkin patch is nestled right in the mountains, with the most stunning scenery--as soon as we drove up we couldn't wait to park and start looking around!
In addition to pumpkins, they had a bunch of other fun activities, and the kids were so excited about each one of them. We went on a hayride, ate (devoured) the yummies donuts ever, toured the spook house (more than once), conquered the corn maze, and the kids went on the cow train, rode the pedal cars, jumped on a huge bounce pillow, and then did it all again. It was spectacularly fun, and we've definitely found our new favorite pumpkin patch!
