When my boys were three and one years old, we lived right down the street from the pumpkin patch on the corner of Claiborne Ave. and Octavia St. So during October, visiting the pumpkin patch was nearly a daily occurence. I have fond memories of those times. My little guys in the photo are now 15 and 17. Time really does fly by!
Here is a list of pumpkin patches and Halloween events happening around town. I am still collecting information, so as I get it I will add it. Have fun, make memories and take lots of photos!
