Yesterday the Woodlawn Academy preschool from Chatham came to the White Fall Farm Pumpkin Patch in Mount Airy for an outing. There were about twenty kids, along with their teacher and some adults. They started their morning by loading into the hay wagon for a hay ride.
During their hayride they stopped in the field and had a pumpkin hunt. Then they all came back to the starting point and counted their pumpkin loot.WSET, channel 13, our local ABC affiliate, came to the Pumpkin Patch and interviewed A.J. Nuckols about everything he has done at the Pumpkin Patch. Check their website to read the story:

Or you might take a minute and watch the video of the interview:

Now, this is the way to enjoy a pile of hay! You had to laugh watching these children trying to climb the side of the hay pile and sliding back down. Though they did finally make it to the top.
All pumpkins are not your typical round, smooth, and orange.
The hay castle was a hit with the kids and the adults. Its fun watching the kids maneuver the castle. There are some entrances and paths that lead to nowhere. Most people, mainly adults, would go back and start over to find the right way to go to get to the steps to the next level. Not kids, they start climbing over and through spaces that most adults wouldn't dare.
And when the kids make it to the top, that's not enough. They have to climb up on the third level wall and jump up and down. Can you remember being that fearless?
