Pumpkin Patch

Our finished Pumpkins

We headed out for our annual pumpkin patch trip this past weekend. We decided to try a "new", "exciting" pumpkin patch and when we got there they were charging an entry fee! Well, we were already there so we decided to make the best of it. The kids had a blast riding the cow train, playing in the corn box, and many other fun activities. Unfortunately, paying a cover charge left us with little money for pumpkins, but I told the kids that they could only pick a pumpkin if they could carry it. It actually worked out great and I am officially making it a rule. Here are some pictures of the fun.

Into the Woods

One of our last adventures of the summer was a hiking trip to Farrel Mcwhirter Park on the Eastside. This beautiful park is just a few minutes from the city, yet it's completely removed and magical. The park has its own farm so we visited the animals the went exploring in the forest. We had so much fun playing in the creek and enjoying snacks on a log. A wonderful way to end another summer season.

Who Needs a Car

We really could live without a car in Seattle and that is awesome! Why don't we? Because a future soccer mom needs her mini-van!

Well, yesterday we had a great adventure. We took the light rail to the monorail to the children's museum. The light rail is 2 blocks from our house, and you don't even have to leave the station to get on the monorail which takes us straight to the Children's Museum. It's a pretty sweet deal.

And of course, riding all the transit is the most exciting part of the trip. We also decided to go at naptime, which I highly recommend, there is hardly anyone at the museum! We pretty much ran the place.

Here are some pictures of our travels.
