If you haven’t caught on by now, I will inform you all that I love fall. I love October, and I LOVE pumpkins. Pumpkin patches are almost second to Disneyland. Manfriend and I have created a tradition of going to the corn maze/pumpkin patch. Last year we slayed a dragon, this year we wrangled a werewolf.
No that yellow tape doesn’t mean keep out, it means please come be one with the corn. So that’s what I did. This year it took us all of 20 minutes to find the eight stations and punch our card, we are professional corn mazers.
There weren’t many animals this year. They were probably sleeping somewhere safe, or eaten. I hope they were sleeping. Last year the pumpkins were scarce because we went towards the end of October. This year there were plenty of pumpkins everywhere.
That last pumpkin was hugeee. I wanted to take it home and see if it would grow a pumpkin stalk to the sky. Then I could climb into the clouds and launch pumpkins at annoying children, or the woman from the story I am about to share.
I love the separate pictures of us, but I kinda sorta wanted a picture of me AND my boyfriend in front of the hay display. You know..cause I am cheesy like that and love pictures together. I approached a woman and put on my polite voice and kindly said, “Excuse me, would you mind taking a picture of us in front of the hay stacks?” The stacks that are maybe two steps from where she was standing. This was her reply, “OH actually were waiting for the horse ride.” THE HORSE ride that was like 10 minutes from departure. Like..this horse carriage wasn’t even in port yet.
The photo would have taken literally 8 seconds, normally I don’t get bitter over minor things..but that snatch deserves to be hit with a pumpkin from my sky stalks. I don’t know why this bothered me so bad, maybe because I believe in helping/doing nice things for people. Of course it worked out because the next lady we asked gave us an awesome idea and told us to stand in front of the barn window.
The day was gorgeous, 70 degrees and sunny. The company was perfect, and I am completely enthralled by the season of fall! I couldn’t leave the pumpkin patch without even the tiniest pumpkin. So that’s what I got, the smallest pumpkin to add to my tiny pumpkin collection.
Q: Have you done a fall related adventure yet?!
so much fun! i have never been pumpkin picking!
Ahhh how fun is this! I haven’t been in a corn maze in YEARS but would love to again! Hmm perhaps this weekend, I am thinking that is a good idea for sure
I have gone apple picking twice for my fall activities, but I have more to check off the list
ugh rude people. but yayy! it seems like you had a lot of fun!!
So cute you match in your plaid! And as for the rude lady, yeaaaaa that’s how it is down here in south Florida.. I grew up with midwestern charm so it was like a huge culture shock when I first moved here. EVERYONE is rude and people are so surprised when I hold the door open for them, take my shopping cart back, say excuse me… it’s so sad.
Your pictures are so cute! I had some super fun fall adventures up in Door County with my Mom last weekend. We didn’t do any pumpkin picking, but we did buy some fun gords. I did get to go pumpkin picking (and do a corn maze) when I lived in TN a few years back. It was so fun!
Aww what a blast! I love that maze and the pumpkin patch, I haven’t been to one since kindergarten haha!
And can I just say you and manfriend have to be the most adorable couple on planet earth– I’m so happy y’all found each other!
I love that you guys are wearing matching flannies! (That’s what we call checked shirts Down Under… do you guys call it plaid or something?) I LOVE a good flannie – I have a bout 7 in different colours – one for every day of the week
Flannies, flans, flannel..all of those work!! I call them flannels if they are soft, plaid if they are not the soft fabric. I don’t like plaids very much..give me the soft flannie!
hahahahaha! THE HORSE RIDE? come on lady – who says that?!?! Even if the ride was already there I would have still taken a picture for you (or anyone!!)! Geeze. I love that you guys match, and I really hope you guys didn’t do that on purpose because that makes it so much cuter! I’m a loser…. anywho, LOVE this post – love fall, love it all!
Pfft… horse ride, haha she probably would have taken a bad photo anyways. You both are so cute! It’s been a while since I’ve been to pumpkin patch, it used to be a tradition when i was a youngin
Yayyyy I love all these pics! The one of man friend sitting really captures his long legs geeez I guess I didn’t realize his legs were that long.
Um question… Why are you do drop dead gorgeous in all the pics ? Seriously, you should work out a deal w the farm to be a pumpkin/corn maze model. In return, you get unlimited pumpkins.
Mr. Speedy and I are going to a apple orchard/pumpkin picking Saturday! This further confirms we are soulmates since you just did this !!!!!
This looks so fun and you look adorable! Fall is the absolute best time of year
Isn’t there an unwritten photo rule? It’s just kind of what one does for his/her fellow man. If someone asks all nice and stuff – you darn well take their camera and snap a few freakin’ photos! Cuz you know somewhere down the line, you yourself are going to impose on a person to take YOUR cheezy photo in a pumpkin patch. Sheesh. I totally feel your rage. Love your plaid, girl.
Whaaaaat? She wouldn’t take your picture?! What a… mean woman. I don’t blame you for getting peeved! But at least you got a nice pic of you and the boy
You guys are so cute together! And speaking of cute, that mini pumpkin is adorable! I haven’t really had any Fall adventures yet, but I’ve done a lot of Fall baking, if that counts? 
I’m still trying to plan a trip to the mountains to see the beautiful Fall colors up there, so hopefully that happens before all the leaves fall off the trees!
You look gorgeous in all of your photos! And the almost matching plaid shirts are super cute too. :]
You guys are too cute! It looks like you had a fun time!!
What a fun day! Although that lady would have irked me too! Snapping a picture hardly required her going out her way…uff! It’s too bad Halloween cards aren’t distributed in October (as they are in December)- that pic of you and your Man Friend would have been perfect!
You guys look adorbs in your matching flannel!
“Please come be one with the corn…” hahahaha! Oh Britt, you make me laugh! And hey, I’m sorry about that lady. That stinks. I’ve never actually had someone turn us down when we’ve asked if they can take a picture (and we ask with great frequency, haha!) and I’m pretty sure I’d be upset if someone turned us down too. I mean, c’mon, it takes SECONDS. Yeesh. Anyway, I do love the shot of you guys together! You are so precious together!
Seriously this looks like so much fun!! We have a place near us that you can pick a piglet and have it race. If it wins you get a free pumpkin. I think thats where we are going to be going
Sooo adorable!! Fall is seriously the best time of the year.
That looks so fun! I can’t believe that woman wouldn’t take your picture! Rude people out there lol
I love these pictures
It looks like so much fun! The huge pumpkin is a really pretty color!
Ah you do rock the plaid, too!! You and manfriend look super cute and cozy! I need to get my pumpkin picking on
What a big meany pants that lady was! Its Karma because you got a beautiful farm window picture out of it
, you guys look great! I really wish I could say I have gone on a fall endeavor…this darn working a big girl job lately has got me busy, unless you count digging around in my MIL’s squash garden 
i LOVE fall too! everything from the apples and pumpkins to the spooky treats and even the colorful leaves is beautiful this time of the year!
what a fun adventure you guys had… that maze looks like fun… i think my family wound enjoy going there too
Brittany, You radiate with a healthy girl vegan glow. I am enamoured with the transformation that you’ve created in the last year! Please, oh pretty please be my real life friend when I move to Seattle with the monkey in the foreseeable future! And, for the record, when I spot couples/families/(especially the husband/wife/dog combination), I ALWAYS offer to snap a photograph of them. AND, when I have my DSLR cam, I will snap one, emailing the fabulous image to the photographee. I get that from my dad. He always did that on family vacays in the 80s (before you were alive). And everyone thinks I’m a bitch. Ha, think again mo foes! And thanks for a gorgeous post, Mademoiselle High Quality Blogger.

Looks like so much fun! The picture of you two next to the barn is really cute. I love pumpkin patches too and fall is always my favorite season
I am definitely not talented at corn mazes, I always get lost in them. Love the picture of the two of you. And that is the cutest little pumpkin!
Hahaha.. “That Snatch”, love it!! Now your photo of the two of you shows a wee little spark in your eye! That old bag better not mess with you again!! I don’t get people, simple acts of kindness.. something we would all do for each other. Well, never mind.. you have a wonderful man, a beautiful life.. and you’re expert mazers!! She’s probs just jealous of you!!
corn maizes freak me out. Remember that scary movie with a corn maize? Ya, i am wuss. But you are just too cute there! Love it.
You both look like you had so much fun!!!!
Sorry Miss but slaying a dragon is FAR COOLER than wrangling a warewolf – AHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! But it looks like you corralled some pumpkins, so I am going to have to hand it to ya, that’s pretty damn impressive!
Yay! I feel the same way about fall. Blogs are especially getting me in a fall-ish mood today
And now I must find a pumpkin patch near Austin….
That is the coolest farm day ever
Cheers

Visiting a pumpkin farm has been on my to-do list for years already! It looks like you had a great time!
you look so cute in the picture with the pumpkin! love your shirt. i wore something very similar today.
Do you live in Kingston or did you just travel there for the magical maze? I live in Seattle (Well…I live in Everett, but I say Seattle, because I’m embarrassed of Everett. I also have to always add that we’re moving back to Seattle next year!) I laughed when I read about the lady wait for the pony to make it to port. I love how inconvenienced some people like to make themselves. One day you’ll have your bean stalk in the sky!
I live in Silverdale/Bremerton area! So yes we traveled to Kingston for this, but it’s only like 30 minutes away ish! I tell people I live in Seattle, so that they don’t hunt me down haha! There’s nothing wrong with Everett!!
