Great Country Farms, October2009

October 4, 2009. We ventured away from our usual Butler's Orchard or Cox Farm and head to Great Country Farms for our pumpkin picking this year. The didn't have a pumpkin cannon but they did have "P-Rex" who liked to eat pumpkins -- and then had to have his teeth flossed with a little help from the audience.
It took a while to get around to actually picking a pumpkin what with the dinosaurs, mazes, slides, etc. They had two covered slides, a single barrel and then the double barrel, for racing fun. Sarah one this heat. The giant pumpkin pillow was lots of fun, but I think Robert's favorite was the corn bin. Like a sand box, but filled with corn. It took awhile to get him to move on from that.

October 4, 2009. Eventually, we did get away to the pumpkin patch -- a short tractor ride away. We picked out a pumpkin for the family, then one for each of us (and one for Zip Drive so he wouldn't feel left out).

Then we discovered a vineyard literally across the road. We didn't stay there to sample but did pick up a couple bottles to bring home. A little overpriced but not bad. October 4, 2009.
