The Pumpkin Patch

This weekend, my family and I all went to the Pumpkin Patch. It was one that we had never been to before, so we were all very excited. But we didn't where it was.Eventually we found it. And once we got there we were even more excited than before. We usually wait until the last day to get pumpkins, but this year we decided that we were going to go early.

My mom said that the reason we went early was so that we could get some of the good pumpkins. Once we saw the pumpkins, I knew what she meant. The pumpkins were HUGE! But we decided that before we were going to pick which ones we wanted, we had to try everything else that there was to offer. There were slides, jumping pads, trikes, a corn maze, and farm animals.

My brothers wanted to jump on the jumping pads and I knew that if we didn't do it, one of my brothers would probably cry so that's where we went first. We were probably there for about 15 minutes or so. And the entire time my brothers were asking my mom to take pictures and videos of them jumping and running. After that, we decided that we had to try the slides. I didn't really want to so my brothers were the only ones to go down.

Then, we saw these "trikes" which I thought looked like a bike and a four wheeler mixed into one. My brothers talked me into riding them but I told them that I only would do it if it was a race. My mom said that she would get a drink for whoever won. Of course, I was the winner, but my mom ended up getting everyone a drink.

Once everyone was finished with their drinks, we went through the corn maze. It took my brothers and I 10 minutes to find the exit but my mom and grandma hadn't made it yet so I went in to help them. I couldn't find them so I thought they had already made it out after I went in to find them. Sure enough, when I made it out they were all there waiting for me.

Finally, it was the time for pumpkins! Both of my brothers found good size pumpkins almost straight away. But my mom and I were looking for a big one. After searching for what felt like hours, we finally found the perfect pumpkin. 

When we went to weigh them, both my brothers pumpkins weighed  about 15 pounds each. The one my mom and I found weighed about 30 pounds! I couldn't believe it! On the ride home I drifted to sleep after a successful day at the pumpkin patch.
