October Meeting at the Pumpkin Patch ~

 Instead of having a meeting to kick off our new season of girl scouts, we decided to go to the pumpkin patch instead!  With a smaller troop, it is so much easier to pack up and go...in fact we can fit all the girls in our two cars most of the time, so that will make it a lot easier to plan last minute adventures like this!
 We enjoyed visiting the animals...playing on the playground...wagon fun...and then it was time for a hayride!







It was really windy when we first got there and we were a bit disappointed the weather would stay that way, but after 15 minutes, the sun came back out and the girls ditched their coats to enjoy the perfect day!


After the hayride, we decided to check out the corn maze...this years corn maze was well constructed and the paths were nice and clear so you didnt have to trip over a bunch of rows.
Jordyn and Serenity were the first ones out of the corn maze...and thankfully no one got lost inside!
 Now it was time to get down to business and hunt for pumpkins.

 It was a bit of a hike to get to the best pumpkins, but the girls were up for the challenge! 



 We scored some beautiful pumpkins, and hauled our loot back to the car!  We all had a great time, and decided this was the best way to kick off the new girl scout year!!!
