We made our annual trek to the pumpkin patch last weekend. We were going up to MV anyway to visit my mom, and a good friend of mine happens to work at a pumpkin farm there every October so we knocked out both of those in one visit, plus we got to see my niece's new house and visit my dad and stepmom before they head south for the winter. It was a busy and fun day. Then yesterday the girls had a field trip to another pumpkin patch, so they've definitely had their fill of pumpkins for the season.
Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island. When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground. So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time). The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders. They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits. They were SO sandy and wet coming home.
