Bainbridge Island loves Halloween.

Bainbridge Gardens’ annual Pumpkin Walk attracted its usual horde of revelers enjoying the pumpkins lit throughout the woods.

A couple of weekends ago we picked our own pumpkins at the Suyematsu Farms – an event quickly becoming one of our family’s favorite holiday traditions. I spend a lot of time on the farm volunteering in part to take in the views – grapes, trees, vegetables, mountains.

My daughter loved the Pumpkin Walk until her sighting of Gingerbread Boy – which promptly ended our Pumpkin Walk 2008, racing, as instructed, back to the safety of our car.
