Paul’s dad flew into town Saturday night, so on Sunday, we wanted to do something fun all together, and decided on a trip up to a North Georgia pumpkin patch. I heard great things about Carlton Farms in Rockmart, GA, but they didn’t open until Sunday afternoon, when I knew Andrea would already be getting tired. So I checked out a bunch of places online, and finally settled on Yahoo Farm in Jasper, GA. It is a small working pumpkin farm, where they sell pumpkins that they grow on site. They had a bunch of activities for younger kids, which was perfect for us. We all went on a hay ride for starters, then Andrea did a pony ride, jumped in a bounce house for a long time, did a cute little hay maze where she enjoyed chasing Paul around in circles, did some fossil grubbing, and rode on a pumpkin “train” with some other kids while we watched. It was very cute. They also had a corn maze, which we opted not to do, since none of us wanted to spend all afternoon lost in a corn maze. Andrea had a blast. Here are a few pictures from our day…

She was a little nervous about the hay ride at first…

But she ended up having a lot of fun with Daddy and Opa, looking at all pumpkins growing on the farm.

Also nervous about posting with the scarecrow. LOL

She LOVED the pony ride though. 😀

And the bounce house, of course.
