Tiny Adventures: Searching SoCal for Fall During the Pandemic
In need of some fresh air and a change of scenery, we took a tiny adventure to Underwood Family Farms in Moorpark (just outside of LA) this week.
We figured it would be a good way for our little one to stretch his legs while we sourced locally grown pumpkins and produce.
We wore our masks, of course— not just to keep ourselves safer, but to help protect others.
We also adhered to social distancing protocols, and visited right when the farm opened to the public at 9am in order to avoid crowds and the heat.
In order to both reduce waste and possible increased exposure to COVID, we toted our own snacks and beverages as usual.
We brought home a handful of funny lil’ pumpkins.
We’ll be decorating them in a no-carve way in order to extend their lifespan. (More on this in the following blog post.)
When we arrived home, we were thrilled to discover our mail-in ballots in our post box. We’ll spend the week educating ourselves on the issues and candidates with which we’re unfamiliar. And in the days to come, we’ll also send out our Vote Forward letters to residents in swing states. After all, October is the new November.
