The Great Pumpkin Patch



We've just returned from an exciting visit to The Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie Island. There was a little bit of everything! Norah rode the cow train with Daddy, then we set off to find the best pumpkins available. Of course, this is very subjective, according to the taste's of Norah. She seemed to prefer the smallest ones the most, but we did manage to talk her into a couple of larger ones as well (for carving!). We then examined the barn with SO MANY fun animals Norah didn't know what to do with herself. She would run from one pen to another, but this time her favorite seemed to be the rooster (he made a lot of "cock-a-doodle-doos") and the bunny rabbits. The gobbling roosters seemed to weird her out, but maybe she knows that Thanksgiving is on its way. After the barn we had a hot dog with Daddy (Norah's first hot dog) and they gobbled that right up. I was surprised, she had the works - ketchup, mustard and relish. We finished our trip with a visit to the gift shop and produce market. If you haven't been, this is a great pumpkin patch!!
