Sauvie Island

Another Saturday, another adventure. This weekend we drove 45 minutes to Sauvie Island. It is north of Portland in the Columbia river. We had heard it has fun pumpkin patches in October so we decided to go as a family outing.

We stopped at the first patch/farm we saw. It was a compilation of a farm with a few animals, a produce market, some food stands, and a field with picnic tables to eat lunch. It was the perfect stop.

This was my eclectically-dressed daughter for the day. I'd love to say she dressed herself, but it was just the modge-podge of weather-appropriate clothes we happened to find Saturday morning. Except for the necklace. That was her own addition to the ensemble.

Fun produce bins

They had these beautiful handmade baskets for sale. I may have purchased one for Santa Clause to give to me this year.

One of the pigs

 Nayeli was not about to take her eye off of it. She's still a little afraid of large animals.

 In fact, this is a picture of her running from an approaching pig in another pen.

Eating lunch at one of the picnic tables. It looks like she's about to throw up, but she was actually just chewing. Promise.

 Sauvie Island also has a beach, although by the time we arrived Nayeli had fallen asleep. No problem. It just means we have an excuse to go back.
