Riding the Cow Train at the Corn Maze

The "Cow" train is a tractor pulling a bunch of plastic containers fitted with seats and painted to look like cows. We all rode it and had a GREAT time!

This looks even better in "high quality" mode. You have to go to YouTube to view that. Put your mouse over the little up arrow at the bottom right which will display a little menu option. Click the menu option which shows you an embed link and url link. Now click on the video. That will open it in YouTube's website. Under the lower right corner of the video is a link called "watch in higher quality". Click that and it will look much better. :)

The Pumpkin Patch

Saturday we went to the Pumpkin Patch on Sauvies Island.  It was a fantastic time!  The main attraction was a giant corn maze.  Last time we went we didn't get all the way through it, but this year we did!  WOOHOO!!

There were several other things, like a hay ride, climbing a pyramid of hay bales, seeing a few farm animals, riding a "cow" train which was a bunch of plastic containers cut out and painted to look like cows, and of course buying pumpkin's.  The weather held off for most of the day.  It did decide to pour down really hard when we were in the middle of the maze.  Fortunately we had umbrella's so we didn't get TOO wet.  It was a lot of fun.  A great way to spend a day.  And the fun weather made for some cool clouds which I had to take pictures of.

We were there for about five hours and on the way home Maddie crashed.  Surprisingly Riley wasn't tired at all.  Marci and I certainly were!  LOL!
