Autumn apple picking and pumpkin patch fun

Gamma, Sophia, and I went up to Green Bluff this autumn to pick apples and play in the pumpkin patches. Green Bluff is just this agricultural area north of Spokane with over 30 participating farms that grow all sorts of stuff. You get a map and drive from farm to farm depending on their specialty and what you hope to buy. We picked load of strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries earlier in the summer.

Sophia is riding the "Tike Train" at the pumpkin patch. The Siemens farm had rides, corn mazes, food, and fall produce.
Here is the tyke train in the distance...
Sophia enjoyed climbing this tree and hanging out in the hollowed out stump. There were folks playing banjos next to her so she was happy to dance along. She finally decided to share the stump-space with another older girl...most likely because this older girl was willing to share her sweet kettle corn.
