Underwood Family Farms.  Cutest pumpkin patch ever.  There is just one problem.  It’s so dang cute, that it draws quite a crowd.  I swear, everyone within 100 mile radius knows about this place and visits for Halloween time.  This next year, I want to try and go off-season sometime to shop their fresh fruits and veggies and visit the animals and eat toffee and not pay $12 to get in.

We kind of lucked out being procrastinators, because we went toward the end of the day, so the crowds were thinning out quite a bit.  At first I was annoyed to pay the full admission to get in when we only had a couple hours to play (do I sound like a cheapskate or what), but we only lasted an hour anyway.  And by “we” I mean “Stevie”.  We saw the pig races, went on a tractor ride, and took a bunch of photos in the pumpkin patch.  The weather was phenomenal.  Our cousins were with us.  Happy day.
