I was so so excited to find out that we are within close striking distance of so many amazing pumpkin patches here in Washington! There are pumpkins galore! It's been probably since my own childhood when I actually got to go to a muddy pick-it-yourself type pumpkin farm, and I was dying to give that same experience to London. We gathered up some friends and took off for one of the local farms, which turned out to have some really neat stuff for kids, including a "living playground" made from plants, sticks and other natural materials, crown-making out of dried flowers, apple bobbing, pumpkin carving, hay rides, and lots of mud puddles! Long live good old fashioned fun, I say.
