Maiden Voyage to the Pumpkin Patch

That's right. Maiden voyage (since we've been in Sequim) for all three of us. For some reason, the Pumpkin Patch just didn't have much appeal before Gavin arrived. But this fall Safeway pumpkins were not going to cut it. Even Tony got into it. We got dressed in our coordinating fall colors, made sure we would be warm enough and took the long journey about 1.5 miles down the highway.

Having spent most of life in Southern California, Tony and I were excited to experience a pumpkin patch where they actually grow the pumpkins with the background of vibrant fall maple leaves. (It was the site of last year's corn maze, but apparently they've rotated crop locations.)

Gavin enjoyed it too. He loves the outside and since it was near his nap time, he was quite mellow. It was a good thing we went when we did (last Saturday). The cute little pumpin outfit from Gramme just barely fit. I don't think it will last until next Friday. Gavin is getting bigger by the day.
