Pumpkin patch

A few weeks ago Bridget and I went down to GA to visit the family and just "hang out" for a while. We always have a blast when we get to drive down and see Bridgets side of the family. We had a really fun time this past trip in particular. We were able to do some relaxing and some yard sale shopping in which we always get stuff we think is kinda cool but rarely need. Most of all, we all went to a pumpkin patch in the depths of GA (seriously, we drove forever). When we got there I quickly realized that this was a BIG DEAL to the people in the town. It was like $15 bucks per person to get in the place but when I left I realized that it was worth every dollar.

First of all, the day would'nt have been nearly as much fun if it werent for my 3 yr old niece Sophia. She gets more and more cute every time I see her. When we got there there was a cow train made with 50 gallon drums cut out into buggies, painted like cows, with wheels and they were pulled by a tractor. She loved it. I think her favorite part of the day was seeing all the farm animals. She got really excited about feeding a cow. She would run over to a hay bale and pull out a handful and feed it to the cow. The best part was when she looked away and the cow took a big lick to her hair! Take a look at the pic, I laughed so hard.

Let me give you a run down of all the stuff they had there: high pressure corn cannons (AWESOME), a huge corn maze, pumpkin patch, a shed full of corn kernels that kids (and Chris) loved to play in, farm animals, big slides, hayrides, and a pig race. More fun than a farm kid can have on any given day.

I ended up getting a couple little tiny pumpkins to take home for our porch and a whole lot of corn kernals in my pants. What a day. Afterwards, we went and ate dinner at Truett's Diner. If you do not have an extensive knowledge of all things Chic-fil-A, then you might not know that Truett Cathy is the founder of Chick-fil-A restaurants and one of the things he loves is classic cars. This diner was cool. For food, it had a glorified Chick-fil-A menu but it had a 50's diner feel to it. I got the chick'n pot pie. bad idea. for some reason it didnt sit right with me. I should have stuck with the classic chicken sandwich. mmmm.

I can't wait till the next adventure in the peach state, but one thing is for certain...#1 with waffle fries, please.
