I have been loving the season! I love how it is getting a little colder. I love being able to cook and eat all those yummy foods that include pumpkin, apples, and spices. I love the colors of the fallen leaves all over the streets and side walks. I don't remember loving it this much last year but I am sure it was because I was 9 months prego and not able to move around very fast. Almost everyday Wesley and I have a talk about the new season and for some reason it turns into a discussion on how it is not turning into spring (like Wes will argue) but that it is really fall. I have no idea were he got the idea that it was spring but he will not believe me or his father. One of the funnest things we get to do in the fall is attend pumpkin patches. They have so many here in Portland to pick from but I have been wanted to go to the Roloff Farm even before we had moved here.
It is only about 15 minutes from us. If you haven't heard of the Roloff family they are on the reality show "Little People Big World" on TLC. I have watched their show quite a few times (with my sis who loves the show) and it was fun to be able to see it in real life and also see the family. Even if you have never seen the show it is still a really fun pumpkin patch to attend. Wesley loved it. We got to check out the pumpkin patch, play in a hay maze, take a tour of the farm, ride ponys, petting zoo, watch people carving pumpkins, and eat treats.
