Pumpkin Patch

We took our kids to the Roloff  Farms Pumpkin Patch last weekend since we knew they wouldn't be so busy.  It was fun and not so busy as we already knew being that we have worked for them a couple of pumpkin seasons. They had a lot to do that was free. They also had 2 tours but it cost $6 a person for each tour and being we have been there done that we decided not to do it again. We didn't buy any pumpkins we thought it was kinda early.
