The pumpkins at Bauman farm


At Bauman farm with uncle and grandma

I just really love the fall season. Last weekend Kendra and I went up to salem with my Mom. We stayed at my brothers house. Kendra is really liking fall this year because she is so into pumpkins and looking at all the halloween decorations people have up around town. We took Kendra to Bauman farms in Woodburn which was a really neat place. They had alot of activities for kids but we didnt do any of them because we were going to Roloff farms as well. Next year we are gonna skip Roloff farms and take her to the Bauman farm activities. Here are some pics of the weekend we had. I hope that you all are having a wonderful day !!!
