[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I will jus wait for a few years then. Thanks everyone for your time. [/quote]

Don't let these obnoxious PPs scare you. Take your child, even to Cox Farms. My 14 month old loved it. It's very American to do. [/quote]

This, OP.  It is a VERY appropriate activity for your 19-month-old--s/he will have a great time and you will get some great pictures.  I'm sitting here at my desk right now looking at last year's picture of my then 16-month-old sitting on a pumpkin and smiling.

Most places have a "pumpkin fesitval" or some kind of fair (usually with an entrance fee) that includes a lot of activities like corn/straw mazes, face painting, pony rides, music, farm animals, etc that might not be worth it for just a 19-month-old.  But most also just have a plain old pumpkin patch that you can go to which is just a field with vines and pumpkins.  Your child can walk around and look at the pumpkins and try to pick them up.  Even if s/he is a runner, the ground is bumpy and you probably will not have a hard time keeping up.  They will probably have a wagon for you to put your pumpkin so you don't have to carry it.

Where are you?  In Maryland, there is Butler's Orchard in Germantown (we were there this weekend--so hot, but still fun!) and Homestead Farms in Poolesville.  I'm sure others can chime in about Virginia orchards, or others in Maryland.[/quote]
