This past weekend was so relaxing, I almost forgot how nice it was to not have anything planned. On Friday our pup was scheduled to get neutered so we knew we were going to stay in with him and give him all the cuddles and care. We ordered take out, rented some movies, and watched a lot of sports over the weekend. Bryan's momma stopped in to see us on her way back from working in South Carolina so we wanted to take her and do something fun. On Sunday I had my sister come watch Auggie after church while we went out to lunch at one of my favorite spots down town (Manna Bagel) then went to a local farm to pick pumpkins, go through the corn maze, and enjoy the fall weather. The farm we went to had it all, from picking pumpkins, a huge corn maze, a petting zoo, to all kinds of games, we could have spent days there! I had never been to an actual pumpkin patch until Sunday. I had been to farms where they have all the pumpkins laid out for you to choose your favorites but this one was a huge field of pumpkins where you find the best ones and pick them yourself. Bryan said it reminded him of his paw paws pumpkin patch he use to have years ago back in his home town growing up. We had to snap a pic to give to him since the name was "paw paw's pumpkin patch." We found a perfectly plump and round 10 pounder that was a must get. When you're still a kid at heart you take advantage of all the kiddie games available. We were playing horse shoe, lassoing fake bulls, and even raced in the kids petal cars. The best part about racing petal cars was the long line of kids waiting patiently in line to do this....and then there was us, about 4 feet taller than everyone else and about a 15+ year age difference. It was safe to say we all got a good laugh, oh and Bryan won. We were so excited to walk through the corn maze and answer the trivia questions along the way-This ended up being an epic fail. We got lost in the corn maze for a good hour or two before we finally decided to give up. We cheated our way out and went through the corn that wasn't part of the trail... Just when we thought we were close to being out of the maze we found a tower and realized we were in the dead center of the maze, it did make for a pretty picture though. I have to say my favorite part of the day was feeding the beautiful horses (this wasn't part of the activities on the list, we wondered off behind the farm and did this on our own with some corn we had pulled while lost in the maze). There was one horse I became obsessed with. I told Bryan I had to have her, unfortunately our backyard does not allow for this. Bryan's momma said one day she knows Bryan will end up buying me a pretty blonde horse like this one, even though he's actually scared to death of horses. I sure hope she's right on this one!
