The Super Secret Pumpkin Patch
I took Miss M on the North Shore Scenic Railroad's "Pumpkin Patch Train" this year as a Halloween treat.
The train was advertised to take us to a secret pumpkin patch where we could pick a pumpkin, ride the train, see the museum, enjoy a magic show and other goodies. And that's mostly what we got.
The Train ride was fun - I hadn't been on the NSSRR in a long time so I enjoyed it and Miss M was excited too. We traveled north through town to the secret patch location. It was not "ideal" (as it had been in my head) but it was okay. It was just a grassy area located about 5 miles (or 30 mins by scenic rail car) north of where The Depot is.
They had pumpkins, hay bales, etc set up and once off the train we got to go choose the pumpkin of our liking. Miss M grabbed on immediately - a very nice one I might add!
After picking our pumpkins it was back on the train for the ride back to The Depot. We were entertained by a magician along the way. Back at The Depot we enjoyed cookies & lemonade, Miss M had her face painted
and we watched the full magic show. We didn't have a lot of time to look at the trains & the Children's Museum but that gives us a good excuse to go back!
She had fun and that's all that matters.
