Fall

You know fall has arrived when you drive down the street and see pumpkins smashed all over the place, we're starting to wonder when we are going to get the first substantial snow and the boat goes into storage for the season. Just the other day we were out for a walk and the smell of fall was in the air and leaves were everywhere...pretty sweet. We're never too sure about the change of seasons when they first start because it seems like we just got used to the season and it changes, but then you get all the great colors of fall and the first snow is always exciting.
Last weekend we went out to the pumpkin patch with Blake and wandered through the fields of pumpkins, ran around on the hay bails and checked out the farm animals. Blake thought it was pretty awesome. It was pretty fun...i don't think i've been to a big pumpkin patch quite this large before...it was fun (even it it did take us like 30 minutes to get out of there because the pumpkin patch traffic was so crazy...dang).

We spent a nice day downtown at REI and walking around the park down there. It was a beautiful day...people were swimming in the river down there. Blake would have liked to and probably would have if we had let him :)

We have Blake already for Halloween...and he went to a costume birthday party for his buddies first birthday a few weeks ago. Only problem is he is growing so fast we're not sure he'll fit in the costume by Halloween, but at least he had a chance to wear it. He also got a couple treats from grammy for Halloween and was pretty excited about what he found in the box.
