autumn weekend

friday night b and i had date night! i loooove date night. seriously. i think a weekly kid-free night should be mandatory for all parents. this week, we went to the seattle symphony.


they did a "sci fi at the pops" program, hosted by jonathan frakes of star trek fame. the orchestra played soundtracks from some of our favorite movies: ET, ghostbusters, independence day, star wars, star trek. it was so much fun. we also got dessert at gelatiamo...mmm.

then saturday, we went to a pumpkin patch! this is so much better than the way we got pumpkins growing up in southern california, which usually involved a grocery store. we went to an actual farm and picked a pumpkin right off the vine.




we saw farm animals, drank hot apple cider, took a wagon ride, ran through the dirt. or, fell in the dirt. jack couldn't quite figure out the whole walking-through-vines thing. but it was fun anyway!




such a fun harvesty weekend. washington keeps getting better!

I know I am an awful friend, it was really fast. I justified it by saying hopefully Tyson is coming back for interviews and I hope to come and meet up them. So sorry. Oh, and what pumpkin patch is this? We went to Bob's farm on Friday and it looks very similar. And P.S. Landon and Kimi think you are awesome and had so much fun with you guys. Another random thing we watched the 5000 day project story you recommended after conference. Totally loved it and stayed up way to late watching it.
