Pumpkin Patch 10/9/10

While visiting Grammie & Papa we went to Brosis' Sugar Tree Farm and pumpkin patch. Mr. Brosi gave the kids their first hay ride. Cal loved the huge pumpkin patch and the unexpected corn maze.

Cal loved this pumpkin because it was covered in stink bugs-go figure

Cal picked and carried out his own pumpkin

Visiting Great Grammie & Papa, 10/3 to 10/5

Early October we headed up to Roseburg to kick-off our Oregon adventure (i.e. Silver Creek Falls, Portland Zoo, Multnomah Falls, etc). While in Roseburg (staying with Grammie & Papa) we took walks and had a great time.

The boys picking blackberries...none survived the walk home

Silver Creek Falls, Oregon

Silver Creek Falls is a gorgeous 5 mile hike that our family truly enjoyed, double-stroller and all.

What this picture shows are the stairs we lugged the kids and stroller down. Before descending every person we met laughed and wished us luck. After reaching the bottom and the other side of the creek we looked back, laughed, and shot this picture. (the metal zig-zagging through the hillside are the stairs).

*After the falls we headed to cousin Kim's house for family fun and rest. The next morning we were off to Portland and Vancouver, WA.
