apple orchard/pumpkin patch

two fun things that one would hope to go to sometime in the fall. we did both...the same day :) it was a long but really fun day. some friends we made here invited us to go with them. they go every year and told us how great the places were. it was quite a drive out over by mt. hood...but worth it in the drive alone. absolute gorgeousness everywhere we looked. but then again, that has been the case just about every day here. i still can't get over how completely lush everything is. and now we're into winter and only half the trees are naked. ahhhh. anyways, here's some pics of the day:
