Fall weekend

We had a beautiful weekend here! It was a little chilly out, but sunny and the fall colors are finally starting to come out a bit. A perfect weekend for the pumpkin patch! We met up with the Conways again and had a blast.

Avery could have run around this hay maze for hours. I remember her loving it last year too!


Avery and Rory around the farm....



We took a hay ride out to the pumpkins - Avery loved this part!!


We picked the perfect pumpkin! Actually we got one for each of us. Avery even picked one out for baby brother!


Saturday night was a big deal around here too. Avery's big girl room was finally ready. Such an emotional transition (for me!). She was so excited to sleep in her new bed!! And even today she keeps telling me she's very tired, just so she can go lie down in her new room!!

She looks so tiny in this big bed! I remember a time when she looked really tiny in her crib too though. They grow so fast!!



Sunday also turned out to be nice, so we headed out to the Columbia Gorge near Mt Hood and went apple picking. Avery was so excited to sit in the wagon as we headed out into the orchard!



She also loved to pull the wagon herself. If you zoom in on the picture you can see Mt Hood in the background. Such pretty views from this orchard!



Avery was so proud every time she picked an apple, so we let her pick A LOT! Now time to go make a few pies!! (Mt Hood is in the background here too!)


Our last stop on the way home was a cute little country store, with a tire swing out front. So much fun!
