Maris Farms

  Yesterday was a beautiful day, so the whole family headed out to the pumpkin patch. Our pumpkin patch of choice is Maris Farms in Buckley which is pretty close to us.  Maris Farms has a lot of other activities besides pumpkins as you will see. This  was actually the third year in a row that we headed down hear for pumpkins and fun.  After we were done at Maris Farms we went to Orting to eat a pizza place we wanted to try before we moved away.  That meant we were able to utilize the back way into Orting that I found on one of my meandering drives that I will take with the girls when I need a little quiet time. It also happened to be Orting's Pumpkin Festival that day so we walked around that and let Avery play in the bouncy house there.  As is if the day couldn't get any better we ended up at business Costco. Everyone had a really good time, but especially Avery.

Don't let that grumpy face fool you. Harper loved being in the Snugli.  She stayed in that thing without complaint for  three hours.

The mountain was out for just a moment.

Avery  crawling down a giant tube.

This  was the bouncy house at Maris Farms, so Avery got to go in two bouncy houses!

Avery loved the pony ride.  She had a smile on her face the whole time.

We watched some piglets race for cookies while we were there.

Harper held onto the railing while we watched the pig races.

This slide was actually called the mine shaft because it's a big tube  that  is buried.  Avery was just fine going down this slide in the dark all by herself.

Avery done with pictures.

At Route 66 Pizza.  Moments before Avery was coloring with  both  hands while drinking her soda.

We used to live in Buckley years ago. I like that area. Yes, you can get lots of views of Mount Rainier. Avery looks like she is having so much fun.
