At the beginning of the month we went to our first Pumpkin patch of the season. We usually go to as many as we can but unfortunately because of the fires that occurred in Napa and Sonoma that are currently still being put out the air quality around us has been terrible and everyone was told to stay indoors as much as possible. Luckily we decided to go right before the fires started, this year we decided to go to ones we've never been to before and ones that are closer to us. So far we've been to two. We ended up getting no pumpkins on our first trip but our second trip was a success. Ian was able to pick out his perfect pumpkin which we have already carved. I'm thinking maybe one more pumpkin patch and a few more pumpkins for us to carve and we will be good for the season? Maybe.
I found a few pages that have huge lists of information and links to where and how to help those who were affected by the fires in Northern California: http://www.sacbee.com/news/state/california/fires/article180136626.html / https://www.winecountry.com/wine-country-fires-how-can-you-help-fire-relief-efforts/ http://www.sfgate.com/local/article/how-to-help-north-bay-fires-napa-santa-rosa-12264095.php
