We Love Fall!

The von Wasmuth family LOVES the fall.  Lots of outdoor activities, pretty colors and plenty of fun stuff to do as the seasons are changing.  We have a list of fall activities that we try to get through every year, weather permitting, and this year has been bountiful. We still have more to do, but here is a smattering of our adventures so far.
Kate, Me and Jocie at Wenzel Farm in Oregon City. They have a fun outdoor Halloween Fantasy Trail that we love to walk through.

Jocie made friends with the scarecrows - she wanted them to hold hands!

Big smiles for the scarecrow.

Kate was a little unsure about sitting on the hay bales.

Kate and Jocie, blissfully unaware of the scary ghoul behind them.

Just sitting here, thinking.

Then we were off to Baggenstos Farm, which is near our house. They had a tractor for the kids to climb on this year and it caught both girls' attention.  Jocie drove first.

But Kate REALLY got into it!

We do this every year.  This year I had to stand guard so they didn't run back to the tractor.  They are coveting it from afar.

We left Baggenstos to go to the Priceless Pumpkin Patch, which is a little family owned business down the street.  We like it because it is a real pumpkin patch, with pumpkins still on the vine.  The girls were a little wary of the wagon ride, with good reason.  It was very bumpy.

Searching for the best pumpkins.

This is one of the trails in Cook Park that is so pretty this time of year.  Kate stopped for a quick photo as Jocie took off down the trail.
