365: Pumpkin Patch Month

October 5 is part of Pumpkin Patch Month. I'm going to be honest. It's not an official holiday yet. But honestly, what is October without going to the pumpkin patch? So, I am starting the trend!

We went to Burger Farm and Garden Center in Newtown. I worked there when I was in high school, so we decided last year to start an annual tradition where we visit Burger in October. Above L is 2018 and R is 2019.

Burger Farm's Pumpkin Festival is a whole lot of fun for the entire family. The price of admission ($10 for over 2) includes:

• Hay Ride*
• Pumpkin Land*
• Puppet Show*
• Giant Straw Castle and Maze*
• Large Playset Area*
• Giant Jumping Pillow (3+)
• Pumpkinapolis 500
• Trike Trac
• Mini Zip Lines
• Cow Train*
• Barnyard Animal Viewing*
• Barnyard Games*
• Corn Crib*
• Nerf Ball Shootout
• Live Entertainment*

* denotes a toddler friendly activity 

I promise you, every age will find something fun to do. We went with some of Jude's toddler friends and their parents. The hayride was a pretty big hit with the toddlers as well as the Corn Crib. The Corn Crib was a giant sort of sandbox made up of shelled corn. Jude and S played with the shovels and toys in the Corn Crib while Q lived her best life and basically swam through the crib. 

There are pumpkins for purchase in a patch that the hayride takes you to. Jude carried around 2 pumpkins like he was competing in a Strongman Competition and the toddlers zipped around the patch. 

There are also games that you can purchase tickets for. You can also use the tickets to meet chicks, rabbits, and a giant snake. The toddlers met the chicks and rabbits. It's always a win in my book when there are genuine hands-on learning activities available. 

If you are in the Greater Cincinnati area, Burger Farm and Garden is a must visit in October!
