Greenbluff Farms

"kid ready" PuMpKin PAtcH

Last weekend we went with my Dad Steve's current hygienist, Tanya (and kids), to Greenbluff farms in Spokane. We just thought we would have our hayride to pick a pumpkin, but it turned out to be quite the experience! It was more like a festival! Live bands, food vendors, lots of craft shows, fresh food, takeout pies& pastries to buy, a haybail maze for kids, etc. The BEST part was the FRESH pumpkin donuts they were frying to order! MMMMmmm. It was such a fun time! We came totally unprepared though- we had eaten, and didn't expect to be there longer than to pick a pumpkin and it was COLD! But we each picked a pumpkin... Cade got a little frustrated trying to pick them up like Daddy and ended up with a tiny one he could carry. 
We took another chance and Cade and Mom went with Nana and Papa Gatten and a few cousins to the farms again (Jon spent the day going to his annual WSU vs. USC football game with his brother Brandon) and this time we bundled up and got to see a lot more! Cade went on a pony ride and cried unless I was touching him. So, mom got some exercise! We got a box of the best apples ever, some fresh squeezed apple cider, and a couple crafts. We will definitely make this a tradition!

That sounds like a ton of fun. FAll is my favorite season. We are getting ready to go to the farm for our annual trip too. I hope we have as much fun as you did.
