After traveling for so many weekends in a row, we decided to have a "staycation" the weekend before Halloween. We had missed having time together and getting to plan fun things on the weekend. Since it was close to Halloween, we decided to head to the pumpkin patch and make our way through a corn maze. It was such a fun way to spend part of our Saturday!
See Mom! We even took the camera!!
This corn maze had trails that mirrored the major highway paths in the state of Oregon. As we went through the maze, there were signposts along the way indicating where we were on the "map".
In the middle of the corn maze, there was this really cool teepee! We decided to stop and see what it was like inside.
We now know that if we want to get good pumpkins, going to the patch the weekend before Halloween is a terrible idea! All the pumpkins are picked over and rotting. On our way out, we saw a pile of pumpkins decorating the exit and we asked if they were for sale. Thankfully, they were!
My handsome {almost} six-foot-tall husband :)
I told you he was much taller!
They had a small petting zoo at the pumpkin patch, so of course we had to take a look!
I made him re-live his childhood memories. Feeding the goats :) This time he was much more grossed out by the smell of the food pellets than when he was young. Haha.
There was a bluegrass group playing next to the hot drink/food stand.
We enjoyed sitting under the cover and enjoying some delicious french fries :)
Later that weekend, we carved our pumpkins. I'm sure there's no doubt which one is his :) He did very well for not having seriously carved a pumpkin in his lifetime!
We are so thankful for the time that the Lord gives us together. We loved getting to sleep in for the first time in a long time and also get to have a fun date to the pumpkin patch. God is so good to us!
Next up: Do the Puyallup!
