fitting

as we were welcomed again by northern indiana to another episode of you can't get there from here we happened upon nappanee. now this was after we had researched a particular pumpkin farm. not in nappanee. drove there. and found nothing but a long line. there were no signs for the pumpkin patch. there were no signs for the sunflower field. there were no signs for the hay bale maze. and there was really no one to ask. all we did find was a line about a mile and a half long waiting for the tractor ride. and what was even more curious is that the capacity of the tractor they were using was about nine. hence the line. as we made our way back to the car we noticed another tractor. with a huge trailer on the back. complete with plastic benches. you know, to sit on. but it's saturday. in october. at noon. so let's just keep that one parked. as we get back to the car after a record breaking six minutes out of the car will is insisting to go to a park. like a dripping faucet. i have no idea where he gets that from but it is on our last nerve. a breakdown ensues. and we pull over. in hopes to find another pumpkin patch. with a park. we end up in nappanee. what a cute little town. embrace the pace. that is their slogan. although one cannot possibly embrace the pace when you have a screaming, kicking, whining two year old that will not stop talking about an effing park. finally we arrive at amish acres. as we get back to the car after a record breaking six minutes. well, you get the point. i have never been so relieved to see a mcdonald's in my whole entire life. and they had a park.
