Peyton's First Pumpkin Patch!

You know the saying, "Everything is Bigger in Texas!" Well it is true. The Dewberry Farm is the biggest pumpkin patch I have ever seen! Krystin and I have wanted to take the muffin to her first Pumpkin patch for quite sometime now and we couldn't resist the invite when Grandpa "Bubba" and Daniele told us about this "utopia" of a pumpkin patch. Did I just use the word "utopia"...mmm anyways... We loaded up our truck and headed to Houston for the weekend! We woke up bright and early Saturday morning and drove out to Dewberry Farm (http://www.dewberryfarm.com/). This place was awesome! There isn't enough time in the day to do everything...you could watch pig races, hay rides, corn maze, pumpkin patches, play areas, pony rides, pedal carts, corn canyons, and the list goes on and on!

We walked around for a bit and headed straight for the pumpkins. Like every family we wanted to grab those cute pumpkin patch pictures of our kid but...we quickly realized how spoiled Peyton is. I swear... my child was the only kid crying and not willing to walk to the pumpkin patch. She screamed and yelled "hold you..hold you" meaning hold me, hold me! Ugh...as a parent, I was a little bit embarrassed because the muffin was being a terror! But like any 2 year old, as quick as they can scream and yell, they could laugh and be merry! The rest of the time was a blast. The muffin head only needed a lit bit of time to come out of her shell and feel comfortable around all the other children at the pumpkin patch. At about these times in life, Mom tends to elbow me and mutter under her breathe, if we could just have another child for Peyton to play with...mutter mutter...like a brother... Peyton would respond better to these types of situations....and that is usually about the time when I pass out. One child is a handful for me, I could only imagine 2...but I am thinking about it!! :) lol..

Well take a look below at our trip to Dewberry Farm and let us know what you think:
