Friday - we had planned to take them crabbing on a boat out at the coast, but the swells were predicted to be so high that they may not rent boats out. Instead, we hit up the Roloff Farms (folks from the TLC tv show, Little People Big World) to get our pumpkins this year. We were lucky enough to catch a quick glimpse of Matt and Amy Roloff, too!
After the pumpkin patch, we went to the apple orchard to get lots of fresh apples! We were hoping it was a u-pick, but even though it wasn't, we got some delicious apples. The best part - this place is literally several miles from our house, so we can go whenever we want (during the season, of course!). Don't you just love the fall colors in Oregon? We couldn't pass up the great picture opportunity!
After the apple orchard, we hit up some stores to get some more things for the house! Mom got overloaded after successful trips to Joanne's and Costco!

Saturday - It was raining pretty hard on Saturday morning, but we didn't let that stop us from hitting up one of my favorite spots - the Farmer's Market on the PSU campus. I usually go in the summer, so it was fun to see the gorgeous fall colors and smell the amazing foods! It was a great Portland experience for mom and dad.
We had hoped to hit up Forest Park for a hike after this, but we decided to pass, despite the rain! Instead, we went to another favorite spot - Stumptown Coffee in downtown. Can't beat amazing coffee on a rainy Saturday Fall day!
We headed back home for some rest and relaxation...and the boys took full advantage! Both of them are conked out on the couch, while the women slaved away in the kitchen!
Ok ok...we didn't slave away! But we did bake a home-made apple pie using the apples we bought from the orchard the day before! It was delicious...and I'm embarrassed to say that the 4 of us polished it off in 2 days. Got to get that excersize in! :)
