I can't believe how fast this year has gone by, summer days seemed to have come and go with lingering days of heat into fall. Yesterday, Alicia and I got to spend the day with some friends in Oak Glen. We met up in Hemet then all followed each other to Riley's Farm. Alicia and I went to Oak Glen last year but it was on a week day and crowds were slim to none. Yesterday, Saturday, it was incredible and not in a good way. I have a feeling that Oak Glen thrives and lives for this time of year, especially the weekends. Riley's farm was 100% full with parking only available alongside the highway (which by the way, Riley's farm is not responsible for.)
We kept on driving and headed towards another apple/pumpkin picking place called Los Rios. Yes, Los Rios was probably just as crowded but at least we were able to find parking and get some BBQ sandwiches into our stomachs! They had live music, people picnicking, kids playing, and a petting zoo! Unfortunately, I guess the majority of pumpkins and apples had already been picked so their selection wasn't so great...
With that in mind we crossed the street and hiked to a pumpkin patch only to find... a field of pumpkin greens. Where were all the pumpkins?! At least the scenery was beautiful to look at...
Leaving our disappointment behind us we took a short cut back to our cars and headed to the pumpkin patch at Live Oak Canyon. This is the place! ...I think maybe from now on we'll be going to Live Oak Canyon for our pumpkin picking adventures... Although, Alicia and I heard of a patch down in Temecula wine country... we haven't had a chance to check it out though.
We enjoy picking our own pumpkins, it's such an adventure! We found four beautiful pumpkins to liven up our home this fall.
Hope everything is going well with you readers. Enjoy the fall season!
