yesterday was the day we went to greenbluff, washington. it is the yearly harvest of goods from the farmers and such. we were originally going to go, but during the middle of last week, we decided against it due to how cold it was supposed to be and there was a threat of rain. our minds were changed and we headed on out for the day.

our first assignment was to find 500 apples for our annual harvest party that we have on october 31st. those 500 will be used for caramel apples. the apples we chose from were in many barrels with different varieties with descriptions of tastes written on each bin. rin bought some to make homemade applesauce.

after that task was complete, we headed on down to the next "house of wares" and searched around for pumpkins with the kids. the temperature seemed to be dropping and we had more places to go, so we decided to leave that location for another. the next farm that we visited had grape cider and a pergola covered with concord grapes that seemed to melt in your mouth.

after i bought the bottle of cider, we went to look around the farm for the "faces" that were hidden around in the trees and patches. it was 45°f and seemed to be getting colder, so we packed everyone up and decided to start heading home.

it was a good, but cold, day...
