Pumpkin Patch

Last Saturday we took Nathan to his first Pumpkin Patch at Gentry Farms in Franklin.



The farm seems huge! I love the fall decorations and the owners are Christian.

They had and activity area in addition to the pick your own pumpkin patch.




We stopped first to let Nathan look at the goats.


He was really interested in them. Yeah, he's looking at the camera in this picture, but he was really into the goats.


There was a corn maze in the shape of a cow. How could we resist??






Nathan really enjoyed being in the maze. He jabbered through it all!


They had these signs in various points of the maze. Some were fun facts & others were Bible verses. Mike & I think they might have been placed at key points, but we didn't take the time to crack the code.


After succesfully ~ with some wrong turns ~ making our way through the maze, we decided to take Nathan on a nature trail.




It was a fun little trail with lots of educational signs about the trees & animals. The Harpeth River flows threw the trail. I could have spent the rest of the day near the river.


We even got to see beaver's dam.


Next we moved on to pick some pumpkins.






He was playing the drums on this one


Fun was had by all. We decided this will have to be a yearly event. Nathan will enjoy it more once he gets older. How fun to start our own family traditions!

He was worn out.


Here's our loot... not bad for $10.
