DC Melchers: A Day at the Farm

I'm a big believer in family traditions. As a kid, my parents took Nick and I to the same pumpkin patch every year. Whenever I think of Halloween, I remember running up and down rows of pumpkins, jumping in the moon bounce and sneaking extra free samples of hot apple cider. One of the things I love about being a parent myself is creating our own family traditions. For us, one of those is going to be taking our family on an annual pumpkin patch trip. So with that in mind, we went to Cox Farms Fall Festival today. Cox Farms is the largest and most popular pumpkin patch in the DC metro area and had about 90 acres of fall fun. It totally lived up to all the hype. Layla was too little for most of the activities, but she loved looking around and checking everything out. She was too busy to look at the camera for most of my pictures. We had a great family fall day!
