Where? They said.

You’ll see. We said.

They were skeptical.

 

That is, until we drove into the dusty dirt parking lot and Mikey cried out, “Hey! I remember this place!” Then it was all smiles and cheer. Oh they of little faith.

 

This place.
This is the place he remembered.

 

 

This magical place of tractor rides.

Hay bales.

He loves frolicking.

Good times at the pumpkin farm once again this year.

Now maybe they won’t be as skeptical the next time we spring a surprise on ’em. Or, maybe not since once upon a time we previously surprised them with a trip to go get flu shots. So maybe they have a point, too.
