Pumpkin Patch

So we went on Sunday to the pumpkin patch. It was suppose to be an all day thing. We were going to go out to Long and Scott Farms in Zellwood which is about 30 miles northwest of Orlando. This is a working farm where they have a huge corn maze, 60' slide, farmers market, small kiddie mazes and hay rides. We asked my mother inlaw Mary if she would like to join us. Sunday morning we left around 11:45am since the farm opened at 1pm. We figured we had plenty of time to get there. About 15 minutes into the trip I asked Steve if he knew where we were going and he said that he thought that I had the directions. Mary had her map and had got mapquest directions to Zellwood. About 2 hours later, asking 4 people and calling my mom for directions we finally made it. We pulled up and the place was packed. The guys leading people into the parking said that they were at capacity and we could go to the pumpkin patch, but there wasnt room in the maze.

We were a little disappointed and I was frustrated with myself for not getting the directions. I am usually so organized, but I guess after the family being sick all week, i just wasnt all that prepared. Well......I also went that morning to get my nails done while Eme took her nap. I left at 10am thinking I had plenty of time. Wrong! The nail tech took forever. So I had Steve calling my phone like a crazy person wondering where I was at 11:30am. I had left my phone in the car and freaked out when I got out and saw the time. Thankgoodness he dressed the kids, packed the diaper bag and the car. So all I had to do when I got home was get myself dressed. So that could of been why the directions werent printed out. But we will just say it was cause the family was sick the week before! ;)

We ended up staying at the farm for about 2 hours just looking at the pumpkins and eating corn. Zellwood is known for its sweet corn. Emelyn loved the corn right off the cob. I took pics of the kids with the pumpkins. I had made tye dyed pumpkin shirts for the kids and I. We all looked so cute. I was pleasantly surprised that Trevor actually wore his shirt. He is at that age where he wants to look cool. It was really hot, but there was a nice breeze. So for the most part it was a great day. Even if we got lost on the way there.

The funniest part of all was that we were going to the Corn Maze, but got lost getting there. How did we ever think we would actually be able to make it thru a maze when we cant even make it TO the maze.
