Yesterday my friend Chelsey called me last-minute to see if we wanted to join them at The Farm in Snohomish.
I am a homebody to the core and normally do not love to go out, especially at the last minute, but I'm so glad we decided to go.
There were piglets. (!!)
We shared the most delicious apple pie, and overheard some girls talking about xiao long bao. I had a "squirrel moment" and turned around and asked, "Did you just say xiao long bao?" Haha.
On our way there we drove past a literal (i.e., not-yet-picked) pumpkin patch. The picture below doesn't quite capture it - we were driving - but it was the most whimsical thing I had seen in a long time.
Best of all, we got to take home some pumpkins.
Thanks, Chens! We had a wonderful time with you. :)
Looks like a fun day! Awesome pictures! Did you take home any pumpkins? My favorite part of Halloween is roasting pumpkin seeds. Phil and I carved pumpkins a little too early this year. Sadly the squirrels and unusually warm Fall took their toll. The seeds were delicious though!
ReplyDeletefunny you should mention that. we JUST roasted some seeds last night. :) we didn't actually get our pumpkins that day at the farm (the ones in the wheelbarrow were my friend's) since we purchased one ahead of time for a carving party we went to on saturday. and because there were a lot of kids there, our friend who was judging created enough categories for everyone to be a winner. we all went home with awesome dollar store prizes. ha!
Deletei heard something once about wiping the inside of your pumpkin with a dilute bleach solution to keep it fresh? maybe something for next year...
happy fall!
This is excessively random, but in the last picture it looks like Theo's left leg has been replaced by a scarecrow appendage :D
ReplyDeletelol, yes.
