So Casey and I had been discussing going to a pumpkin patch this year. Casey really wanted to go last year but we ran out of time and then convinced ourselves that Cole was to small for it at 6 months, but now at 18 months he is into everything, loves to run around and be chased, and he is all about some farm animals. I had heard lots of great things about a pumpkin patch called Lucky Ladd in Eaglesville, TN It was about 45-50 mins outside of Nashville. Then I talked to Julie and she said they were going to one on Sunday too in TN. So I got excited thinking maybe we could go too! It was Lyon Farm in Fayetteville, TN. I thought, it's farther but it will be so much fun, plus she said that a few other family friends of ours were going. So I asked Casey and he was like "whatever you want to do is fine with me". So we had it all planned, go to church, come straight home for a quick lunch and nap and then head out. Well, while Cole was sleeping and about 20 mins before we had planned on leaving Casey must have looked it up. He freaked out when he found out it was an hour and a half away. He came in where I was and was saying things like, "this is ridiculous, admit this is stupid, why are we doing this again? these people would not drive this far to meet us, etc..." He was driving me nuts. He waits until right when we are suppose to leave? plus he had already said we could go. Typical Casey fashion. :) Yes, I know it was farther, but it is not like we do it every weekend, plus it will be so much more special with great friends. I cannot say he went with a smile on his face, but needless to say, after all that, we went! and had a GREAT time. We met Julie, Bert and the girls (almost 3), Zac, Carrie and Aubrey (2 1/2 yrs), Dave, Regan and Davis (4 yrs), and Dolph, Kim and AJ (5). The weather was perfect (78 and sunny). Lyon Farms had so many fun things for the kiddos. We slid down slides, played in corn feed, went on a hayride to pick pumpkins, played in an inflatable bounce house, watched pig races and had a small petting zoo. All that with great friends!! Not sure if Casey would admit it was worth it, but he would say we had a fun time. I still think he would say it was crazy/stupid to drive so far, but he did have fun too!!
