Soergel's Pumpkin Patch 2010

For the 2nd year in a row, we visited a local pumpkin patch (Soergel's) to gather our pumpkins for the porch steps and the corn stalks for the light post.  This year we went on a Tuesday, thinking it was better to go during the week to avoid the crowds.  It was actually sort of boring without all the people milling about and the weekend games and activites!  Next year we'll go back on the weekend, plus, Brooke will be old enough to enjoy the activities then. 
We found it odd that we were the only ones up in the field picking pumpkins, and that we had to carry our pumpkin down the hill ourselves (or rather, Scott had to).  We were later reprimanded because that upper pumpkin patch is closed during the week.  Opps, we didn't know, and didn't see any signs!
After picking our pumpkins, we stopped by the animal barn and saw a donkey, a pig, turkeys, sheep and I forget what else.
Overall, a great day!
