I really wanted to find a great place to pick a pumpkin this year, and living in a new town I had no clue where we should go. After asking around I heard that Del'Osso Family Farms was a great place to go and get inexpensive pumpkins and do lots of fun fall things. We set aside our Saturday to venture out (it's about an hour away from our home) and play all day on the farm. We were a bit concerned because the weather had been a little dreary with rain here and there, but taking a chance we made the drive and arrived with no rain in the sky.
There was SO MUCH to do! Above is a picture of the obstacle course! Super high and too scary for me to try! We skipped it.
Pumpkin launching, face painting, riding a zip-line and hayrides were just a few of the things to do on the farm.
After being there for only 30 minutes or so, it started to sprinkle. We were bummed but we tried to have fun and not let the rain stop us. :)
Brandon really wanted to do the corn maze...in the RAIN! Kids apparently do not mind getting soaked! We had no umbrellas but we did the maze anyway. The rain made the mud so slippery that we had to walk really slowly not to fall! It was hilarious. It took us forever to make it though the smallest maze there, and we were slipping and sliding all over the place, trying to grab onto corn stalks for support. They are NOT very supportive. ;)
After looking for a long time, Brandon finally found a great big pumpkin. We named him "Twist" because of his twisted stem. The day was a very wet adventure that we will not soon forget!
