Fall is here, which means apple cider, football, fall leaves, cooking homemade soup, and of course, pumpkins!! As a family, we have created a tradition of taking our daughter to pumpkin patches, which have been a lot of fun. Thankfully, there are a lot of fun pumpkin patches along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Be sure, however, to double-check the hours and the websites before going.
