Pumpkin Patch!

So yesterday was the perfect fall day. Gorgeous weather, the air was crisp, but the sun was shining and the fall leaves were amazing. I had a photo shoot out near Fall City just past Issaquah. So we decided that we would go to a pumpkin patch out there. We had a great time, the kids had a blast. It was so fun because it reminded me a lot of our farm in Montana. The barn was the same shape and Brooklyn recognized that, she said, "This barn is like Papa's". They had a produce store set up in the bottom of the barn and then up the stairs was a hay maze that Brooklyn did awesome at, she found our way out! After doing the maze, we went on a hay ride pulled by a tractor and Brooklyn again said, "Papa has a tractor!"




The kids both enjoyed the ride out to the big field of pumpkins. They both ran around hugging the pumpkins, trying to pick them up, it was pretty cute! We found some perfect pumpkins and headed back to catch another ride on a tractor. This time we were on a little wagon and the man driving had a long beard and overalls on. (We thought maybe we could do a pumpkin patch at my parent's farm in Montana and make my dad dress like this guy!)


We rode by some scarecrows out in the field and came back, weighed our pumpkins and had hamburgers, corn on the cob, and hot cider for lunch while we watched them catapoult pumpkins, and that was pretty cool too!

It was a fun morning out and the kids were good on the way home so since we were in the area where we want to buy a house someday, we went cruising the neighborhoods, daydreaming and falling in love with the houses and landscaping. Only another year or so hopefully and we will have a house of our own.

Enjoy the cute pics of the kids in the slideshow above!!
