Our train ride adventure to a pumpkin patch!

On Saturday we had an interesting adventure to a pumpkin patch. My friend Kylee has a little guy that really loves trains so she invited us to go with their family on a train ride to a pumpkin patch. The train/pumpkin patch place was on the east side of Indy so we had to drive nearly an hour to get there (we live on the west side). When we pulled up, we saw what has to be one of the oldest trains EVER! And sure enough, that's what we were riding in. I should have taken some Dramamine with me...it rocked something fierce...but Ava and her friend Elijah were having fun. After about 20 minutes on the train, we stopped at a snack shack type thing. After waiting for 20 minutes there, we loaded back up on the train and headed back toward the depot. About halfway back to the depot, they stopped the train at the "pumpkin patch." Their idea of a pumpkin patch was a cleared soy bean field where they brought in a truckload of pumpkins. Each kid got to pick a pumpkin to take home. I was an interesting trip...not what I had anticipated, but the kids enjoyed the ride. Now we'll know to look for something different next year!
