Pumpkin Patchin'

It's been quite awhile since I've been to a pumpkin patch, so when Mom suggested we go out to Gordon's this past weekend because she had never been I was all in.  We headed out on a sunny but brisk Saturday afternoon and wandered around the farm, taking in all the varieties of pumpkins {who knew there were so many?!}, checking out the sunflower field {that had sadly been beaten down by the rain storm the week before} and picking out a few colorful faves to bring home for our front porch.  It was a fun and festive day to really get us in the spirit of fall!

Pumpkin Patch

A few weeks back when we headed up north I knew the weather was going to be decent {read: not rainy} so I suggested we stop off at a pumpkin patch before visiting the family.  Since we had Nina with us I researched some patches that allow pets and came across Gordon Skagit Farms in Mount Vernon.  We arrived at the patch on Saturday afternoon to a small crowd {way more manageable than the patches around Seattle} and Nina was so excited to roam around the pumpkin fields {leashed, of course} and sniff just about every single pumpkin she came across.  Though it was a little less relaxing than years past making sure Nina didn't get into everything and we only came home with a few mini pumpkins, I love the "family pictures" we got of the 3 of us wandering through the pumpkins and I'm glad we got to continue one of my favorite fall activities.  Cheers to fall traditions!

 fun fact: aunt marsha told me that uncle ed drove this exact truck they now have displayed for his first job!
