Late this morning, Pete and I kept our fall tradition going by heading out to the Rolaff Family Pumpkin Patch in Helvetia, OR (ten minutes from our house). This was our third annual trip. For those of you who don't know, the Rolaff family has TLC tv series called "Little People, Big World". They have a huge farm and for the whole month of October it is a fall festival including pumpkins, wagon rides, tasty food, and more. We usually get our pictures taken with one of the family members, but this year we decided we didn't want to wait in the long line. Pete and I each took our time finding just the perfect pumpkins and then got one little white one for Nellie.
On our way home, we stopped for a beer at the famous Helvetia Tavern. Both the pumpkin patch and the tavern are way out in the country and it was a gorgeous day. While we were sitting at an outside table a big farm tractor drove by us going down the country road. Pete says, "Man, we've got to live in a city like this where tractors just drive down the middle of the road." I had to laugh as he just loves nature.
It was a delightful morning as we welcomed fall into our home by decorating with our new pumpkins!
He wants to live in a town where tractors drive down the road??? HAHAHA....you know that you have family in LYNDEN right?!? LOL!
