Cedar Wood Pumpkin Patch

For the last two years, we have taken Ashton to the Cedar Grove Pumpkin Patch in McMinnville, TN. Jason's parents and his sisters attend with their children. It is so much fun because we take a hayride to a field full of pumpkins and each person chooses the "perfect" pumpkin to take home. There are two fenced-in areas containing animals such as a cow, goats, sheep, donkey, chickens, a turkey, etc. that the children can pet and interact with. There are old fire trucks and an old Army truck that the children can play on.

Ashton especially enjoys the fire trucks. Tears came to my eyes when he told me that next year, he would drive the fire truck and his sissy would sit beside him. I just keep trying to imagine what Ashton will say when he meets his new sibling for the first time. Will he embrace her? Will he act shy? One thing is for sure, he will love her as much as a toddler knows how.
