October tends to be the most action-packed month in the area. Since our favorite local pumpkin farm sold to a developer and moved to a less charming spot in Cary, we have searched for a better option. This year we ventured to Vollmer Farm, which was a bit of a drive. It was a bit disappointing in terms of the actual pumpkin experience (we like to search large fields for cut-your-own mammoth pumpkins), but it was a pretty awesome autumn-themed amusement park for little kids.
