The Pumpkin Patch

We took advantage of a semi-nice day to check out a pumpkin patch and farm. Our friends, the Roddas, have been going to Fall City Farms for years, and recommended it. We thought it was great too! Not too big, not too small, and the price was right...free! We went late in the day, so we didn't even get to see/do everything. But we all had a good time exploring and it was a fun, fall outing.

First stop: Chicken coop. The girls, especially Emma, loved the chickens and roosters. Mia quickly spied the dogs running around on site, and yelled "doggie, doggie!"

Next stop: pumpkins!

The ground was a bit muddy due to all the recent rain. I'd picked up some galoshes for the girls, luckily. As soon as we pulled up to the farm, we noticed everyone was wearing them. This is a cool shot of all of us walking along the path to the pumpkins. Emma is holding my hand, and Matt & Mia are in the background.

Mia is on a pumpkin mission.

Emma stops to adjust her boots. They were a little funny to walk in. We walked back toward the entrance, and stopped to see some cows. Mia practiced her "Moo" sounds and the cow moo-ed back.

Back at the main area, the girls find some pumpkins just their size!

We hoped to go on the hayride, but just missed the last one while we were looking at pumpkins. We jumped on to take a photo, at least, but it was too bad, because the girls would have loved it. We ended the trip with some fresh pressed apple cider and handmade donuts. Delish!
