      Fall is the best but it doesn't last too long here in Chicago area. It's Fall then it snows. Not much of a transition usually. Have a great weekend!

    I love seeing all the beautiful pumpkins!! It's my favorite time of the year! Goodness there are so many. And the kid rides are so cute too. Love the Rosalie cam on the slide - too cute! Aweee the goats are so cute! Okay, you got the cutest footage EVER of the baby chicks!!! My heart! I love how intrigued they are by the camera haha. Fantastic video as always :)

      This one has been in the works for quite awhile and you may be the only one who saw all pumpkin patch videos when they first came out. Rosalie and Addison are just growing up way too fast. The baby chicks was one of my favorite parts.

    Nice special effects with the jumping Carl.
    Each park certainly has different things to offer. I do like the idea that you pay one admission fee and you get everything included, rather than having to delve constantly from your wallet. No 2 and No 1 are my favourites, all inclusive!
    Thank you for showing us these fabulous, fun places Carl. Have a great week ahead. 🤠👍🏼🙏🏼

    • @SantosChronicles
      @SantosChronicles  3 місяці тому +1

      Eventually I'll go to 2 times a month and when I do that, there will be much more special effects. They just take 1 -2 hours for 10 seconds of footage. I went to the same one for 10 years, so now we are just being more adventurous,

    Great intro Carl! That's some vertical you got there!!! It's that time of year again! You're way better at your timing than I am. I'm always to late seasonally! My UA-cam suggestions are always like... "Try to make more timely videos".

    • @SantosChronicles
      @SantosChronicles  3 місяці тому

      The last 2 years, October has been my best month so I'm trying to be better at timing it. From all my timely videos, we have found the most success having it out 4-5 weeks before the event. I would love to do a special effect in each video, but as you know, it takes a while to edit these videos. So once in awhile I like to get a little extra creative.

  • @AndyandRachel

    dang! That's a serious undertaking. You must have spend a lot of time at Pumpkin Patches! There sure is a wide price range between these different farms! I now officially want to go "Zorking"... I think that's what the inflatable ball down the hill is called. That farm also had a zip line!?! No pumpkin patches have that here. I'd call that one the adventure pumpkin farm and I'd head to that one first. So much helpful information here. Hopefully lots of people in the Chicago area get these insights from you.

      Yea, it was 5 years in the making to get this video out. I was going to do one more but I was like that will be for the next collection. The adventure farm was the most unique for sure with so much to do for the older kids. I was so excited to do this video compilation.

    I love haunted hayrides! I would go with Stade's because I love fresh apples! Thanks for the reminder, I'm overdue to make my famous fall dip! I like all the rides at All Seasons! I like that Joahnson's has everything included in one price- things can add up so quickly! We looked into Richardson's before for the corn maze! Maybe if we have time on the way back we can still give it a whirl if you guys are free! Bengston's has it going on! I want to ride that rabbit! Great video Carl! The list style is super valuable!

    • @SantosChronicles
      @SantosChronicles  3 місяці тому +1

      We still have so much apples from Stades. The all in one price is great - but not for those Donkey rides. I think they can get as long as 45 minutes. Let me know, I would be all about going to Richardson. I think it was 2020 when we went. As you can see it was a little busy! I think all the other places limited the number of folks at the farm. This was something I have been wanting to put together for 5 years. I was happy how it turned out.

    LOL that jump superman intro always gets me.. need to do more editing magic 😂 glad there's plenty of places to see pumpkin patches there. Goebbert Farm, you guys look so young there lol.. I think they all have their merits, it just depends on your budget and what you're looking for. Bengston Farm does look crowded, but I can see why you listed it #1. All good choices though!

    • @SantosChronicles
      @SantosChronicles  3 місяці тому

      Editing is so fun but sometime there isn't enough time for special effects. If I did 1 video every 2 weeks, I definitely would. But I think I have a backlog of videos of 20-30. We watched all of this as a family looking back. All of us were so much younger but especially Rosalie. Rosalie has been in the camera since she was born.

    Nice round-up video! Seeing some of those clips was a little strange: Rosalie is so small in some of them & then the pandemic ones.

From what I can gather, most pumpkin patches in my part of the country (Illinois northeast of St. Louis) are around $10
