Pumpkintown is for the Bees...

Today might have been our last foray to the land of the Pumpkin.  I love Fall.  I love the smells, the sounds, the flavors...  I love Wyatt's birthday and how it kicks off the entire holiday season.
What I don't love is aggressive, stinging bugs coming at me with a purpose - only made worse when they aim for my kids.
Call me a ginat baby but the bees literally chased me out of Pumpkintown today.
No, thanks!  No, way!

So, our visit was cut short but we really could have tried harder...  the truth be told, we didn't care that much.  Pumpkintown was a fun, enjoyable, season-y thing to do when the kids had pretty much nothing else to do with our time.
Now, with school and activities we had to squeeze it in.  And squeezing in a fun activity is hardly a good way to start out.
To add insult to injury, we had to pay admission.  In previous years, when it was a random weekday that we decided to head to Pumpkintown it was free.  Today, being Columbus Day Observed, we paid $4 each.  So, $12 to get chased by bees in blazing sunshine while sweating in line for a pumpkin bounce house that, according to Abby, had too much air and was not very bouncy at all.

Perhaps we'll put P-Town behind us.  It seems we've outgrown it.  But it will forever be a fond memory of my tiny kiddos' Fall line up...
