I couldn't take my 3 year old boy to a place like that or else I'd be broke.
Quick story on pumpkins. Last year my son and and daughter did pumpkin painting at the church (lot less messy than actual carving). Well you can only keep the pumpkins for so long, so when they started getting soft, I took them back to a pit I dug at the back of the property and smashed then down in the hole (of course the boy had to help). Now keep in mind that there is no top soil in this pit but just clay. I also discard grass clippings, and other stuff that will rot up good. Anyway I'm taking the boy a ride on the tractor and as we go by the pit, he asks when we are going to get the pumpkins. I told him that we smashed those and they rotted up, when he insisted about stopping and getting the pumpkins because he saw them. We stopped and went down there and sure enough I got a pumpkin patch in my pit. I told him they weren't quite ready. How do you know when a pumpkin is ready for picking? If I would have tried to grow them, they wouldn't have did anything but I throw them in clay and they grow. Go Figure.
