Friday afternoon the boys and myself as well as my mom and dad made a trip to the pumpkin patch. We actually found one in Boiling Springs, SC online only to drive out to it and be disappointed. It was literally a tin shack that looked like it was going to fall apart at any moment and it was a ghost town. Nobody around. So needless to say we left. Mom mentioned driving a mere 15 miles to Strawberry Hill in Chesnee, SC and I'm so glad we did. Normally it's just a strawberry and peach farm but they had this awesome hayride for kids and it was decorated fabulously for fall. The hayride was so much fun! Ethan LOVED it and I think Eli did too. They took us past all the strawberry fields down into the woods. There were "spooky" things hanging from the trees (as E likes to call everything right now) and little "spooky" scenes along the way. We arrived to a cow field where we could feed the cows which was utterly, no pun intended, disgusting, but fun. If that makes any sense! Then there were three calves that we could pet and pigs that we could chase (check out the picture below). Then we finally got to the pumpkin patch where we could all choose a teeny pumpkin to take home. There were other fun things to do for the kids like roping a bull which E loved. After the hayride was done, we enjoyed a apple slushie which hit the spot because it was pretty warm on the hayride, hence why Eli has his socks off. I promise I'm a good mom ... it was just hot! We will definitely be back next year! So much fun!
