They had a fairly good system, and while there were lines, everything kept moving nicely. We did the hay ride, corn maze, and got pumpkins. The problem was leaving. It almost took a full hour to get from the farm back to the highway which is only a couple miles...

We made pretty quick work of the pumpkins, as we attended the Mills' sorta-annual Pumpkin Carving Party. That was a great time and we ended up with this:
