Okay, you're probably thinking to yourself, "What the heck is Pumpkin Day?" Well, that's because it's a holiday that I kind of made up.If you didn't already know, I lived in Florida before I met and married Dan. The last few years that I lived there, a group of girlfriends and I would pick a day each Fall to meet at Starbucks for Pumpkin Spice lattes and then head to the local pumpkin patch for silly picture taking and general merriment (I just had to throw that word in for fun!). The tradition was fun and it kinda stuck with me so in a desperate attempt to keep it alive I've brought it to my friends here in the Pacific Northwest. Hence, the newly founded Pumpkin Day. A day for all things pumpkin....lighting my pumpkin-scented candles, baking pumpkin bread, watching It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown...and of course, a trip to the local pumpkin patch after a Pumpkin Spice latte at Starbucks.
I love Pumpkin Day!
Today was a gray and rainy day here in our corner of Washington and that's perfectly acceptable for Pumpkin Day. After a trip to Starbucks (or "Barstucks" as Jackson calls it) for the aforementioned lattes, we caravan-ed up to Snohomish where The Farm at Swans Trail is located. This is our third year of Fall fun at The Farm and the drizzle of rain just made things a little more slick but no less fun.
We got to go on a hayride to the pumpkin patch.
Jackson was thrilled to see the "punkins!"
But he was probably even more thrilled to discover the mud.
Here are some more Pumpkin Day photos...
I'm already looking forward to next year's Pumpkin Day.
