An Arizona Pumpkin Patch

There are many reasons why we choose to live in beautiful Arizona, but the desert's version of a pumpkin patch just can't compare to the real kind found in the Midwest. We still try each year to go out and visit a farm, though. This year we took a day trip to Chino Valley and had a nice sunny day at the farm. There was lots to do at the farm; including drive tractors, pick pumpkins, walk thru the corn maze, hay ride, petting zoo, and even a carousel.Driving the tractor, I think you could make a little farm girl out of her.Lexi and the "skee-crow" in the corn maze.She had so much fun petting the goats and sheep, she wanted to hug them all.We walked thru the pumpkin patch for the experience because almost every pumpkin is rotten and ends up costing a fortune (you know, you pay by the pound). We always buy our pumpkin at Wal-mart, $4 and a great selection.
We left the farm with a small pumpkin, a fun day filled with great memories, and a squash.
