Indian Knoll Pumpkins

The past few years we've loved exploring our trust Radar Farms Pumpkin Patch up in Bloomington-Normal. We almost always go after a swim meet. But this year the weather didn't cooperate. With October slowly winding down we needed to get to a Patch FAST! On Friday night we had family pictures in Springfield. As I was looking at the GPS I saw a nearby "patch" in Mechanicsburg. I knew it would be a quick drive so on Saturday morning after swim practive we jumped in the car and went in search of our pumpkins.

The girls enjoyed checking out a new place. They had a play area that did not disappoint. Leah played Tether ball with Mitch while Kiersten was climbing hay bales left and right...and Hattie loved the swing. They each painted their own pumpkins. Leah made Mike Wizowski from Monsters Inc. Kiersten made Harry Potter, and Hattie painted a black cat and some ghost on hers. We went out the field and picked three perfect pumpkins and even enjoyed some tasty baked goods. Before leaving the girls were learning to play Checkers on a giant homemade board with mini-pumpkins. We love being able to find adventures in our own backyard. Glad we tried something new this year.
