GREEN BLUFF, Washington
October 17, 2009
What a rare, cherished moment of family togetherness captured in time...
After the last of all the Fall soccer games....
We went to Green Bluff, to the Harvest House. This is one of many farms up there that have festivities for the harvest season. We prefer this farm, mainly for their homemade pumpkin donuts. YUMMY! Tyler's parents, Duane & Jennifer, went with us, as well as his sister, Natalie and her family. We also get the pumpkins we will carve for FHE the monday before Halloween there. We do have one rule when our kids each pick their own pumkin: ***You must be able to carry your own pumpkin*** So, this year, Noah pushed that rule to the limits. But he did it! He got that pumpkin...
Kiah and her pick of all the pumpkins.
This is actually not the one Ella ended up with. She got a "Cinderella" pumpkin, which was white. Kind of fun to get something different like that.
Asa managed to wrestle all of the pumpkins and hay bails until he snatched this baby up and held on for dear life!
Jayson and Natalie Frank's kids are still young enough to get the cheep way out of the deal.
Tiny Pumpkins = Tiny Price
It was VERY CROWDED when we arrived, as you can see in this photo. Luckily after eating there it started to rain a little and cleared out some of the crowd. After the kids played in the maze, went in the playland and bouncy houses, and ate kettle corn, chili, and donuts.... we were done. We had only one last stop before leaving.
The PONY RIDE!
Ella and Preston looked forward to this the entire time. I think she felt like a real princess. She loves animals (ones that do not bark, anyway) and we all loved watching her. Kiah and Noah opted out of this one. They are "getting kind of old for that now." Okay?!?
So long to Green Bluff... until next Autumn!

Mikin, you are looking amazing and your family is beautiful! I miss you!
So much fun! Leave it to the Mortons to stick it out through the rain for the real fun! Sounds YUMMY too! Go Noah... carrying such a big pumpkin! You are a stud! MIKIN... you look SO good! Miss you guys!!!!!!
Cute pic of the whole family...that's true huh? That NEVER happens! Anyway, looks like you guys had fun. I want more of those doughnuts. :)
It was fun going as a group. I have a feeling Preston is going to get the massive pumpkin next year...thankfully this year he thought the "baby" ones were fun. And just for the record, I didn't even try a pumpkin doughnut...remind me to have Jay stand in line with Tyler next time.
Gotta love Noah. He's a kid after my own heart.
