By the looks of this blog, you might think we over here at Alstin eat, breathe and sleep all that is recruitment and retention. Every so often we’ll stray from the HR talk and bring you more on some of our favorite things, places and activities that also populate our daily lives.
When the autumn season returns, one of my “favorite things” to do is spending a crisp, fall day with my family at a pumpkin patch. This marks the third year I will be heading to Shady Brook Farms in Yardley, PA for their annual PumpkinFest.
I love standing back and watching my now three-year-old son pick the biggest pumpkin he can find and his attempt to carry it back to me, falling down all over the place. There are lots of fun activities for young children – a moon bounce, pony rides, face painting and so much more. We always make sure we have Uncle Dave’s Ice Cream before we go on the hayride. Homemade pumpkin ice cream – MMMMMM!
Then we try our luck finding our way out of Shady Brook’s corn maze. Just before it gets too cold and too dark – you really can spend the whole day there – we each get a cup of hot apple cider and sit back, relax and enjoy the fall weather.
