We went sunflower picking in the fall at Muddy Boots in Duvall. The sunflower season was coming to an end and they were preparing to transition to their pumpkin patch. So for the last two days of the season they offered free admission to their sunflower field. You just pay for the sunflowers you pick.
So on an early release day from school, we headed out to pick sunflowers. It was such a low key, fun, and special beginning of fall outing. Most of the sunflowers were starting to turn but we still found some beautiful ones.
The fields are full of fun little activities along the way. The kids loved finding whatever was next around the corner.
Beautiful wildflowers were found and rows of sunflowers created a maze for us to explore.
Heading to a sunflower field, just for the pictures, has been on my want to do list for a long time. I am never sure about dragging my kids to these kind of things. So it was a pleasant surprise to be able to do this so inexpensively and on a whim. It was so fun and magical to explore such a beautiful place with my kids.
The children, of course, wanted to find the biggest sunflowers they could. They did a pretty good job of it!
And I gathered a few more pretty ones to create an arrangement at home. And at just $1 a stem, we made out with a $7 bouquet and a wonderful after school outing.
We finished our fun afternoon with ice cream at C.C. Espresso and Ice Creamery in Downtown Duvall.
Always coffee ice cream for me. A treat and caffeinated skip in my step thank you.
Then I pretended I had a farmhouse sink full of sunflowers. It was a pretty lovely day.
