October; it's always a favourite month of mine and this year did not disappoint. We managed to make three pumpkin patch trips throughout the month; the kids would have gone every day if they'd had the chance...maybe I would have too if life didn't get in the way!
We went to Sweet Oregon Berry twice; once ourselves and then with our ward playgroup and my mother in-law, who came to spend the week of Halloween with us.
We had to go to Bauman's Family farm too. It's probably my personal favourite, but only when it's not packed...unfortunately it was really busy when we went this time and we lost Peter! It was pretty traumatizing for him and me, but we recovered and enjoyed the rest of the day the best we could. Our friend's the Platt's came with us again (same as last year), we always have so much fun with them.
At Sweet Berry there was a pretty fun rope swing that the boys loved. Olive is so determined to be right in the thick of whatever they are doing so in this pic below she was a little upset that she wasn't old enough to do play on the swing herself. She's fearless I tell you!
Here she is going down the enormous chute with Jack. She must have gone on that thing about 30 odd times. I went down it once and nearly peed myself because I was so scared! Ha..not really, but it was totally terrifying.
The hazelnut pit! They had the best time making nut angels, and diving into the pit. Hours of fun right there...I should get one!
This kid kills me with his poses! HA!
Everyone's favourite part of Bauman's was the free apple and pear/apple taste testing....we spent over an hour in there eating to our hearts content! And we had to follow it up with Apple Cider and their incredible donuts.
We only ended up carving one of our pumpkins this year...I'm not even sure how that happened. But I'll plan on making up for that next year.
