2010 Pumpkin picking :: Heiser Farms

Posted on | Monday, October 18, 2010 | 5 Comments

This year was the 9th time in a row Matt and I have picked pumpkins together. Where does the time go? :) We went to Heiser Farms again and had a wonderful time. The weather was great for pumpkin picking in Oregon. This was the fourth time we'd gone to Heiser Farms and this year, they moved everything around and expanded and there were just a ton of people. Lots of food, a petting zoo, hay rides, helo rides, train rides, pumpkin canons, corn maze and more. You can view last year's post HERE and a previous one HERE.

Wall of ego. :P

Until next year...

Picking the Perfect Pumpkin :: Heiser Farms

Posted on | Sunday, October 18, 2009 | 3 Comments

Matt and I had a lovely time visiting Heiser Farms in Dayton Oregon on Sunday. We have made it a tradition to pick our own pumpkins each year, and this would make it our 8th time together picking pumpkins and our 3rd time at Heiser Farms. Last year and the first year we were dating, we went to the Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie Island, which is also fantastic, but we wanted to stick closer to home this year. We may still go to the haunted corn maze on Sauvie Island next week... but we shall see!

So many to choose from. Normally, we go the weekend before Halloween and everything has been picked over, but this time around, it was really hard to choose!

Maybe...

Too warm for a jacket...

Still looking...

This one was lovely... but the grass is always greener.... have to keep looking...

We have a couple winners!

Autumn is here!

Softest bunny... (hand unknown).

I was finally smart this year and wore some rubber boots (Hunter boots from gilt groupe!).

Look! That's us a few years ago!

Last year, someone stole my pumpkin off our front porch, so we're keeping them indoors for now... maybe I need a few back-up pumpkins? There's still time before Halloween!
