On Saturday, we drove up for our nephew's birthday party and spent a couple hours with family at Catalpa Grove Farm beforehand. Todd & I have been disappointed with the local pumpkin patch we'd gone to since Lucy was born and hope to start a new tradition of going to Catalpa because it was fantastic! It was a legit hayride (10-15 min ride) to the pumpkin patch and there were a ton of really great looking pumpkins (all sizes and colors) that you could actually cut off the vine yourself (a must for me when going to a pumpkin patch). Both girls got a small & large pumpkin and I also picked out a tiny baby pumpkin too. They had an area with animals to see & pet, a straw maze, a corn maze (my first one ever!), and a cute little market with apple cider slushies and kettle corn.

Lucy picked out her small pumpkin first
and she helped Todd cut her big one off the vine
So many pumpkins!

Slushy time!

Kettle corn + movie = pure happiness
Andrew's party was during the OSU football game so he had a buckeye birthday cake
