Fall

It always amazes me how perfectly God has set up the seasons in Oregon. Just when I start to get tired of one season it is time to start the next. Fall is by far my favorite of them all. The leaves changing colors, falling off the trees, and eventually ending up on the ground to be munched by our feet, the cooler days, the sun setting earlier, hot coffee, yummy food like apple crisp and pumpkin flavored anything, and last but not least the pumpkin patch!!

I always get so excited to go even though I'm really to old to do any of the activities. For me it's the atmosphere and the all around mood of the pumpkin patch that makes me so happy. Since moving to Bend about 3.5 years ago, Tyler and I have been going to The Central Oregon Pumpkin CO. This place has it all... horse drawn wagon rides, a zoo train, petting zoo, face paining, pumpkin cannon, harvest market, corn maze, hay fort and much more. This year was an all around different experience because we got to bring Cade along. He was obviously too little to enjoy or partake in the experience but it was so fun for Tyler and I to take him along. I already can't wait for next year when Cade is old enough to really enjoy and get into it all.
