It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

 While I may not particularly love dressing up for Halloween, I do love the annual tradition of carving pumpkins to light the way for our neighborhood trick-or-treaters. As soon as October rolled around, I knew that we had to start our hunt early to ensure we found the perfect pumpkin. This weekend, we hopped in the car with good company and took the trek up north for the best pumpkin picking around. Our destination? The Gordon Skagit Farm nestled in the Skagit Valley.

If you live in the Seattle area, I highly recommend making the trip. They had fields of pumpkins to pick from, a corn maze, and an apple orchard where you can pluck a treat right off the tree.

Needless to say, we found a few good pumpkins to carve.
