Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch








If you have not been to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch, you should consider making a trip sometime. We have gone every year on Tucker's birthday. It started when Tucker was three. Having already spent and spent on the birthday party and gifts, we were looking for an inexpensive thing to do on Tucker's actual birthday. Thanks to my wonderful friend Camille, we found the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch loaded with bounce houses, hayrides, a maze, lots of our favorite characters and great photo opportunities all free of charge. The day was such a success that it has become a tradition. This year Tucker's birthday fell on a Saturday and he wanted to go the pumpkin patch and have his birthday party there. (Elizabeth's birthday is the day before and she wanted to do whatever "my Tucka" was doing!) Although a much more crowded than years past because it was Saturday, the pumpkin patch was a great place to celebrate a fall birthday. Tucker and Elizabeth had a great time. They wanted to play dress up at their party so we passed out wings and tutu skirts to the girls and batman capes with a mask for the boys. All the kids looked so cute running around all dressed up. Thanks to everyone who could share this special day with us! Thanks to the people who run the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch ...we had a great time!

PS - part of me thinks they are really crazy to run the pumpkin patch and charge nothing for the activities (they only charge if you want to buy a pumpkin) - I'm not sure I could ever host such an event!
