Discover Walla Walla

Last winter I wrote about my first experience choosing a Christmas tree from Klickers, a popular local farm located just east of Walla Walla Community College. As I mentioned in that blog, Christmas isn't the only time you can enjoy the farm's charms.

Autumn is a lovely time to visit Klickers, since they have a beautiful selection of pumpkins, a hay pile to climb with a slide to bring you back down, classic trucks kids can climb inside and pretend to drive, and dried corn stalks to make any front porch more festive.

Last year at this time my husband and I had a 3-month-old baby girl. Some friends of ours had a little girl who was only a day older, and we decided to take advantage of the sunny fall days and explore Klickers. The girls weren't quite old enough to smile yet, and my daughter even had a hard time holding her head up still, so we have a picture of what looks like my daughter being blessed in a pumpkin patch. Gotta love it.

This year we went back, and the good news was we had the whole place to ourselves. The bad news was that the reason for that was because it was raining pretty good and everything was muddy. We didn't care - we walked around and took pictures anyway.

Comparing photos later was a blast; our girls have grown up so much in a year! The great thing? I do believe we've started a tradition.
