Seeing Orange

We had some perfect fall weather this weekend making conditions just right for a pumpkin patch outing. We ventured over to Serres Farm in Sammamish and the kids spent a couple of hours choosing pumpkins, running through the corn maze, finding gourds and picking sunflowers. There were lots and lots of families out enjoying themselves and it was such a nice thing to observe. I loved how Sela and Nina both combed almost the entire property (several acres) before picking their pumpkins. I always look for the Cinderella pumpkins or really oddly shaped ones but the girls stick to the traditional pumpkins, perfect for carving. Sela's was huge and I could barely get it in the wheel barrow. It was a great afternoon...the only drawback is I can't kick this sickness I've had all week and when we finally made it home I felt completely exhausted. I slept 14 hours last night trying to shake this thing and I'm off to do the same thing tonight.
