Burts Pumpkin Patch

Today we had a really fun day at Burts Pumpkin Patch. The weather was great, it really was a perfect day, maybe even a few degrees hotter than we thought it would be. It is always a longer drive than I remember and there was some traffic on our way (and we got a later start than we intended) but when we got there it was so worth it. We skipped the trip last year because Sophia was just too tiny...not even a couple months old! Not to say that we didn't see some tiny babies there....one family was even trying to set up these two tiny tiny twin babies on some giant pumpkins for a picture.....very glad we decided to skip it last year, that is all I will say about that!
We figured it would be packed and it was very crowded....but parking was easy and we didn't have to fight for a wheelbarrow and for some reason it didn't feel as cramped as in past years that we have gone. This was good news though, we were able to let Sophia walk around in the pumpkins. She had a GREAT time! I think she loved that the pumpkins were as big as, if not bigger, than her. And she really loved seeing all the other kids there too. More than once she waved at complete strangers trying to pick out their pumpkins. We picked out our perfect pumpkins and took a good number of pictures, got some snacks and then were out of there in about an hour or so. The only thing I wish we had done was ask someone to take a family picture of us amongst the pumpkins. Oh, well, there is always next year. Because we will definitely be making the trek to Burts an annual Santoro family tradition. :-)
