Though we have already taken the time to get our pumpkins and carve them up, we are still checking out Halloween activities, which include pumpkin patches. As we were traveling quite far for an event, we decided to stop off at Cattows Halloween Farm – a pumpkin patch and Halloween farm that we have never visited before. This place was big – like massive – and could have taken much more time then we actually had to spend there, which is very good to know for next year!
