What is your image of Autumn? Probably autumn foliage, roasted chestnuts and eating pacific saury. Well, in America, autumn starts in October in many places and it starts with a visit to the pumpkin patch. As you know Americans love to buy a giant pumpkin for a Halloween decoration. If you are lucky enough to live near a farm that sells pumpkins, you can take the kids there for a few hours and enjoy the day with your family. Of course, everyone goes to the pumpkin patch to get the best pumpkin they can, but the really smart farmers have found many ways to make money off the guests. They will generally charge a small admission and then when you get inside the farm, they will offer hayrides and pony rides. You can buy apple cider and fruits. There might even be bouncy houses and corn mazes. Of course, a farm always has a lot of animals like goats, sheep, chickens, cows, and horses. The kids love to play with the goats. If the weather is nice, you will truly enjoy those 2 or 3 hours out at the pumpkin patch.
