Pumpkin Patch, take one


The first chance we got, on a beautiful fall afternoon, we headed to the pumpkin patch. We've visited many over the years and to start the season this year, we stayed pretty close to home. Picha farms if a favorite earlier in the year for berries, so we thought we'd try them for pumpkins.

Usually we like to find pumpkin patches that have LOTS of activities, but for starters, we just wanted to find our pumpkins to carve. We figured we'd "play" some other day. As it turned out, they had a sling shot and if you got it into the box at the end, you got 15lbs off your purchase. We got 2 in, so got this huge 30lb pumpkin for free! We were pretty excited

On our way home, we drove past another farm. I don't remember the name, but I snapped some pictures of the little ones while Kevin took Raymond through the hay maze. The view of Mt. Rainier beyond the pumpkin patch, in the late afternoon sun was stunning. Wish I could have gotten a picture that really did it justice. It was a lovely way to spend a fall afternoon.
