Off to the patch

Some days you just need to get away. Tyler and I set off this afternoon for Glyndon, Minnesota and the Buffalo River Pumpkin Patch.

I was excited because I LOVE FALL. The smell, colors, pumpkins, the crunchy sounds of leaves and Halloween costumes. Buying a pumpkin in a grocery store just isn't the same as getting out into the "wild."

Even though it was 20 minutes away, the patch was worth the trip. One of the three pumpkins we bought was actually taken off the vine. There was also a petting zoo with some very pushy goats and a horse-drawn carriage ride through a "haunted forest" -- completely G-rated but cute.

It was great leaving adulthood for a day-- Here are some pictures from our adventure.

After we left we decided to be TRULY adventurous-- we went the next 30 miles to Detroit Lakes. We had dinner in a bar that overlooked the lake and on the way home -- THIS HAPPENED IN MY CAR!
