Continuing Saga of the Pumpkin Patch

I have some incredible friends- I am MAJORLY blessed. Lord knows it's hard to find close friends, and to find them on the other side of the world..well, it's pretty awesome. That being said, one of these awesome girlfriends who has lived here a while has a knack for where to go, local spots, what have you...or at least knows who to ask to find these cool places. She had received an email regarding this "pumpkin patch" in Yilan, so we decided to call it an adventure Saturday and see what, if anything this place had to offer. Now upon hearing pumpkin patch, I got pretty jacked up. I told you that was one of the things I missed. Apparently sensing my palpable excitement through my text, she basically told me to calm down, 'cause we weren't there yet.- So I settled myself down a bit, while not fully resigning myself to the fact that it was going to be a bust. The outcome? Somewhere in the middle. The place had the potential for coolness, I just think we got there a bit late....I mean in all fairness Halloween is today and we only went Saturday. Either way the kids enjoyed it, we got to go for a drive, get another pumpkin, get some photo ops with hanging guords and um...well, explore another piece of Taiwan that we had not yet disovered. Nothing shabby about that!
