And when I say big kids, I’m talking about us “grown ups” too! If you want to have fun with your kids, you have to come and see us at The Pumpkin Ranch this year. Dave has been working hard and creating all kinds of fun activities out or re-purposed items and crops that farmers grow. Not only have our kids had fun testing everything out this week, but I have too! Here’s Cooper playing on and in the straw house that’s a part of the Fun Zone.
