Last Saturday we went to the Harvest Festival at Black Island Farms. What a great Fall activity right? It was 78 degrees and HOT!! Although that is better than freezing cold, it didn’t feel like Fall at all. We had a great time though!
They had some goats, turkeys, llamas, etc. and Adam enjoyed looking at them. Apparently when you run a pumpkin farm, your animals eat a lot of pumpkins. ALL the animals were munching on pumpkins!
There were a bunch of fun things for little kids including a hay maze, tire swings, lots of slides, a cow train, and corn box. And that’s just the stuff I got pictures of!
This is what Abby did….chilled out in her stroller
Then we went on the tractor/wagon ride way out to the pumpkin patch. There were A LOT of pumpkins!
Abby was either tired or didn’t the wind and dust because she spent most of the wagon ride snuggled into Daddy.
Picking pumpkins
We got 4 lovely pumpkins for our front porch and we’ll be carving them next week! Adam has no idea what he’s in for!
Random note….this farm is about 10 minutes down the road from us. And look…..there is nothing else around! It’s kind of fun living in the middle of a city but only 5 or 10 minutes away from nothing but nature.

We went to a pumpkin patch tonight! Out west in Riverton...and definitely not what I expected. Right next to Bangerter Hwy...literally. I think living in Eugene spoiled us....it's more like what you experienced..nothing else around (except other farms, of course!)
Fun trip! We're heading to the pumpkin patch next week. It'll probably be hot here too. LOL
As for photo collages, I do them one of two ways. If I'm working on my PC, I write all my blog posts on Windows Live Writer. (http://explore.live.com/windows-live-writer?os=mac) It's a fabulously, easy way to write your posts offline. It's so much simpler than the standard blogging platform. I often use their photo album feature to condense my photos.
I recently got a MacBook and, obviously, WINDOWS livewriter doesn't work on it. LOL So I make photo collages at www.picnik.com . It's an online photo editing site and it's really neat. It's user friendly and does a lot of cools stuff. There's a free version and a paid. It's $25/year and worth every penny. But you can make basic collages for free.
Hope that helps. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
We're headed there tonight for YM/YW. It's a great place for the older kids as well. Looks like you had lots of fun!
