As our gravel roads are drying out from the rain we received yesterday, it seems only fitting to write a blog devoted to the topic of "Why do we this anyway?"
For each part of the planning for this season, something has seemed to go wrong. Now, we're not complaining....we're just continuously reminded that God is certainly in control. So, without further ado, here's our top ten list of reasons why we operate a pumpkin patch!
10. We LOVE the fall and we LOVE kids. We couldn't come up with a better way to join the two.
9. Our community needs one...who else is going to do it?
8. Being a life-long farming family brings us closer to God and we want to share that with others.
7. We get to build our own memories with our family and friends because it takes many hands to make this thing work!
6. Tom Rodine knows how to grow corn. Why not make a maze of it?
5. Jean Rodine knows how to decorate and arrange flowers. Why not use that talent to fill a shop?
4. We love living in Oakes and we want to be part of making a great place to live and raise children.
3. Grandparents are always looking for ways to spoil their grandkids. Take a trip to the farm...it will continue to make you cooler than mom and dad.
2. We're farm folk - we like hard work. :-)
And the number 1 reason we operate a pumpkin patch is...
The weather, the growing conditions, and the circumstances around planning for this thing may change from minute to minute, but one thing stays the same....
EVERYONE HAS FUN AT THE PUMPKIN PATCH!
Come on out this weekend and see us...we'll do everything we can to make it a great visit!
