We had lots of fun last year, so we had expected to have as much fun this year, if not even more. Though any day out of the house with William is a fun adventure now a days. The first thing I noticed when we got there was the different layout of the hay bales, which they do every year.http://expectingpapa.blogspot.com/2010/10/pumpkin-patch.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (William)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-869000653208240511.post-5337248030619346169Thu, 12 Aug 2010 21:31:00 +00002010-08-12T14:31:41.019-07:00otherHello all, Back in 2003, before I met my amazing wife and started a family. I came across a brochure for Upromise while working Staples at the time. I visited the website and joined shortly there after.
