Sauvie Island 10-14-06

Our first time to Sauvie's island and likely our last. The traffic wasn't terrific. Dad and Tanner enjoyed the opprotunity to discuss the merits of various topics related to current events. Once we got there we went on a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch which was fun. The pumpkin patch was big and crowded. It had some nice size pumpkins though. The girls enjoyed looking at all the pumpkins. Trying to find a small one for the girls to carry was a challenge. Brianna did find the two pumpkins we brought home. She did a great job!


























































After taking the pumpkins back to the cars we went into the corn maze. The maze numbered along the path and you took clue cards where you answered questions and it would tell you which way to go. Shane thought that was cheating but it was fun. I don't know how long it took us - long enough that the kids were tired and hungry. Once we finished we headed back to the cars and drove home which didn't take as long as we thought it would.























































Once we got home we enjoyed a wonderful meal mom had prepared ahead of time. It was called White Chili - mom I need that recipe before you leave!
Dad was hard at work trying to get the sink hooked up for mom so there would be running water in the kitchen. Brianna helped him hold the flashlight so he could see. I think he enjoyed her help. It took about 6 trips to Home Depot and yet still wasn't able to get it working. He was disappointed to say the least.
