A trip to the pumpkin patch...



It was a beautiful, sunny October day, and we ventured out to Buckley to visit a large farm popular for their pumpkin patch and a whole lot more we were surprised to learn. The Fall colors here are popping with the leaves and the pumpkins everywhere——it's definitely one of my favorite photo opps.

We met up with the Olson family -- Kevin, Monique, and their 3-year old twins, Andrew and Allesandra. I saw the twins last year for Halloween and I was surprised to see how much they've grown! I'm sure folks think the same thing of Connor though. (c;

Among the usual attractions of the pumpkin patch and corn maze, they also featured:

- Monster truck rides (see slideshow above for a picture of the truck)
- A live band
- Jumping pillow for the kids
- A large "mine shaft" slide
- Pig races
- An overhead goat track
- Pony rides, face painting and more...
- Fresh roasted corn, apple cider, funnel cakes, lemonade, hamburgers, hotdogs, kettle corn, caramel apples and more.

It was a nice day to get out and enjoy some sunshine and see the sights in the company of friends.
