The Farm

The kids were so eager to go to the pumpkin patch and pick out their pumpkins.  It's one of our favorite adventures of the year.  Wandering through a pumpkin patch in the crisp, cool fall air is awesome.  This year was no exception, especially for Natalie who was thrilled to be let loose.  We visited The Farm in Snohomish, which is were we usually end up each fall.

The kids had a great time picking out their pumpkin.  Ryan found the perfect one to carve his spooky pumpkin.  And Kendall was super excited to pick out a "Spookley" pumpkin.  (If you haven't read this book, you should.  It's a great Halloween story.)  Square pumpkins were pretty hard to come by in this patch, but she knew right when she found HER pumpkin.  Natalie tried to pick up every pumpkin she came across, and we decided to get her the one she could actually pick up!  

After the perfect pumpkins were selected, we went to visit the animals.  There were baby kittens that Ryan and Kendall got to hold.  So fun!  Kendall decided that her kitten should be named "Little Fella".  I love that!   Kendall didn't think the stinky animals were too great, though!  She has the most sensitive nose of anyone I know.
