I'm Last year we visited a popular "pumpkin patch" in the DFW area. We should have known that it wasn't much of a pumpkin patch when we were driving through the middle of town as came across it. None these, they had a hayride, lots of wooden cutouts for photo opps, food booths, and other fun fall festival-like events. While it may have many fun things, we were expecting a semi-muddy field with pumpkins on vines, where you wander about to find the perfect pumpkin. Apparently, pumpkins don't really grow much in Texas so a pumpkin patch is actually a grassy field with pre-picked pumpkins laid out nicely and tagged for pricing. Needless to say, we had a fine experience last year, but we were hoping for something a bit less crowded and commercialized this year--so that we could get some decent photos without dodging the other 500 people in the field.
This year we opted to go for a much calmer experience. We headed out early on a dreary (Fallish) Saturday morning and went only about a mile down the road to a local church fundraiser where they have pumpkins scattered about a field and several random bails of straw for photo opps. We were the only people there so the girls had fun and we got several decent shots.
