Bates at the Pumpkin Patch

Who doesn't love spending an autumn afternoon at a picturesque farm? With so many young children and grandchildren, it's the perfect outing for the Bates. They recently visited Oakes Farm, located in nearby Corryton, Tennessee. The farm offers hayrides, play equipment, a pumpkin patch, a nine-acre corn maze, and lots of delicious food.

These boys are getting so big!

  5. We have a pumpkin patch where I live! This past Sunday my family and I spent the afternoon there. This year the patch added a zipline for one of the activities!

    1. Zip line is not good. A neighbor nephew died from a zipline.

    1. Were you not aware of the Bates political views? They're common knowledge.

    2. What does MAGA stand for.

    3. Sad to use children, who have no voice, as part of a political statement.😡

    4. I knew they were conservative but didn't take them for Trump supporters so it was a surprise

    5. MAGA stands for “make America great again.” It was Trump’s campaign slogan.

    6. 11:10, oh sure because a child wearing a hat is nearly as bad as the video that Democrats came out with, having young children cussing and making vulgar remarks to bash Trump🙄

    7. It’s no different than parents having their kids wear BLM shirts. It’s their kid, as long as the clothing doesn’t say anything inappropriate who cares?

    8. I find it very inappropriate when parents push their politics on their children before the child is old enough to understand. I don't know why someone suggested I condone "swearing children" because that's ridiculous.

    9. Trista reread that comment, it was directed towards 11:10.

    10. Wow. That doesn't reflect a very tolerant attitude. It actually exhibits the attitude that liberals so often accuse conservatives of having. It seems that those who preach tolerance the most, practice it the least.

    11. These spiteful political comments on both sides are part of our growing discord in this country. I will not vote for another democrat or republican if I can possibly help it. I’m sick and tired of the hypocrisy.
