Halloween

We went to a new pumpkin patch this year, rather than the usual Sauvie Island pumpkin patch. On the way to this new one, we passed the Roloff Farms pumpkin patch (from the Big People, Little World series on TLC). I think Craig thought I would insist on going there, but we figured it would be a zoo. Plus, this new pumpkin patch was rumored to have a train ride and a boat ride. What fun!

We went to the Lake View Farm and it was a blast. We took the train both ways, as it went through these tunnels that were decorated inside with lights and other halloween decorations.



When we got off the train, there was a wonderful surprise, pony rides. Chloe loved these and she went a few times. I even took her back the following weekend to ride more. Looks like we might have to find her horseback riding lessons when she gets older!

For Halloween, Chloe dressed up as a bumblebee. It was such a cute costume and so easy to make with a little black electrical tape, a yellow turtleneck and and black pants. Chloe had a lot of fun trick or treating with her friend Bea. She didn't really realize what she was getting, so she didn't OD on the chocolate. Zack, however, ended up getting to her halloween candy and eating more of it. Oh well.
