Fall is a very short season in the Rockies. Therefore, we knew we had to take action soon if we were going to experience a favorite family outing. Last weekend, we headed out to Canon City, Colorado for our Rogers' family tradition. Every year since Wes was born, we have taken the children to some type of Pumpkin Patch. Whether we were in Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, or now Colorado, we have found a patch to purchase pumpkins and take pictures. I have always loved this outing over the years.
This year, we experienced a first. We went to a pumpkin farm and were able to cut our own pumpkins right off the vine. The pumpkins were very large and had beautiful color. Adjacent to the pumpkin field was a corn maze. We tried a corn maze once in Florida and last year in Tennessee. Those were fun but, in both cases, the corn had already been picked and the stalks were brown and dry. This year we were able to find our way through a growing corn field with the ears still on the vine. It was very fun for the children to see the ears of corn still growing and be surrounded by green, healthy stalks.
Diana's Pumpkin Patch was a bit of a drive but the family fun that awaited us was worth the trouble.
