Palms and Pumpkins


So, in trying to think of some different things to do on Oahu this trip, I stumbled across the mention of sunflower fields. It turns out that Pioneer Dupont has a sunflower seed farm on the north shore side of the island.

We decided to head out that way to see if we could get a couple of snapshots. We had driven past sunflower fields in Kansas, and I thought it would be fun to see a field up close. We should have called first. The season had already ended.

However, I noticed a photo on a Facebook post from my friend Dan who lives on the island. I asked him about it when we met him and his family for church and brunch.

Aloun Farms has a pumpkin patch, a taro patch, and some sunflower fields. We decided to check it out too. Yeah! They still had sunflowers. It was the last weekend of their pumpkin patch. Essentially, it was a sort of fall festival, complete with kiddie rides, carnival games, petting zoo, pony rides, live music, vendor booths, and food.
