My cousin Jackson in the pumpkin patchThis weekend we got to explore a little more of Oregon by driving/shopping on the Oregon Fruit Loop in Mt Hood with my cousins and aunt. It was such a pretty drive with the leaves all changing colors. We saw a lot of yellows, reds, and oranges!
Pumpkin bowling
We started at a little farm called Rasmussens. The prices for their apples were amazing, but when we had them weighed, it seems like they pretty much jipped us, saying that we were buying 4 lbs of apples when it should have only been 2. Hmm.... oh well. We at least got to check out a pumpkin patch, mini corn maze with a story of "The Princess and the Pear," and a whole "pumpkin land" area with painted pumpkins and gourds to look like fairy tales.

Little red riding hood and the wolf--heads made from gourds
Three blind mice. Made completely of gourds! :)
Our next stop was at Packer's Bakery. Here we found some great apple cider and HUGE cookies. Definitely a good stop. :)

We hit up Draper Girls' farms for some cinnamon and sugar dried apples, then ended our fruit loop stops with Kiyokawa's (something like that) which was the best of all the places!! Great apples with friendly staff to cut the apples for you to try a piece. They had an apple tasting section for a minimal fee where you could try just about every apple that exists. They also sold Asian pears! We got one to try, as well as a couple other local produce items.
It was a fun Saturday and we were so happy to be able to go out and explore the Oregon fall!
