Day three of our staycation, we planned to go to the pumpkin patch. I was super excited to let H play on the playground, visit the petting zoo, take a hayride, and pick her own pumpkin. We planned to go with Brian as soon as he got off work.
He got home around 4:00 and we waited until H woke up from her nap. We arrived at about 5:00 and were greeted with a sign that said “WE CLOSE OCTOBER 31”. Ugh. It was November 1st. I tried not to be disappointed, I really did. But I really was. I tried to just be thankful that H didn’t know what she was missing, but it’s really hard to not be disappointed when your plans get thwarted.
I must confess, I was a little mopey on the way home. Brian tried to cheer me up, and it helped some. We ended up going to HiBoy and getting shakes and going to a different park than the one we go to all the time. It was fun. H really enjoyed sliding with Daddy and M enjoyed walking with Mommy. Overall, it was a relaxing, fun time for everyone. Am I still disappointed? A little. Will I make sure to get to the pumpkin patch before October 31st next year? You better believe it! Am I happy? Of course. My little family enjoyed our time together despite failed plans. So was it really a FAIL? I don’t think so. 🙂
