This autumn has been the most autumn autumn of my life! The leaves have changed, it’s finally raining, and Spooners Farms pumpkin patch is in full swing! My friends and I decided to put on our rubber boots and a million layers to then pile in the car and drive to Puyallup.
The scene was insane when we got out of my housemate’s automobile. We set foot onto a muddy parking lot that had recently been rained on, full of puddles and varying sizes of foot prints. We were welcomed by a stand selling corn and stands with different types of squash.
Bell bottomed rooster
We made a bee line to the barn first where we got to see some animals. There were chicks and turkeys and chickens and pigs and bunnies. One of the roosters looked like he was wearing pants, which made me a bit uncomfortable. After we were done inside, we moved outside to see the mules and goats. They were pretty energetic for the condition of the weather that day as they climbed around on haystacks and a ramp built inside.
Our findings
It was time to pick our pumpkins after we got our fill of farm animals. All of us picked our own small pumpkins (I actually bought 2 hehehe) and then we went to the main part of the patch to find our house’s big pumpkin. The search was exhausting, seeing as it was 4 opinionated girls trying to pick the perfect pumpkin. We went through rows and rows until we picked our favorite one! Tall and round, the perfect pumpkin!
After paying and getting the best fudge I’ve ever had, it was time to go home. We loaded the 9 or so pumpkins that we had picked out into the trunk and we were off to Tacoma. It was an awesome day =)
