The kids raided our costume bin and got dressed up.
It's hard to get Penny to stay still for very long these days.
This year we went to a "Trunk-or-Treat" put on by a local church with some friends. 
It was just our speed. We went while it was still light out, circled the U of cars in the parking lot and were done in about 20 minutes with a satisfying amount of candy.
This year we headed to a new and different farm west of town. Bill's Berry Farm is a lovely family-run farm. They grow apples, pumpkins, cherries, and blueberries.
Our tour started with a talk on fruits and vegetables and some of the different varieties of pumpkins by Farm Wife Julie. Then Farmer Bill gave us a hayride out to the pumpkin patch to pick our own Wee Bee Little pumpkin. 
Penny was pleased to find a pumpkin she could carry around. 
There was a hay pile to climb over and through. (There were tunnels underneath.) 
We rode back to pet some of the animals and (after a thorough hand-washing) had fresh pumpkin doughnuts. 
It was a excellent morning with great friends and good weather. They run this little animal train on the weekends. The horse behind her is named Henry.
We walked through the historic Columbia County Courthouse. We stopped at the train depot to see the bronze stationmaster sculpture that had been added since our last visit. 
We at lunch at the Weinhard Cafe again. 
We did a little shopping and stepped in to see the lobby of the Weinhard Hotel. We stopped to have coffee with the goats at the fromagerie before we headed to Walla Walla. 
There, we walked up and down Main Street. The kids found some more bronze artwork to interact with. 
The kids found a fun little park to play in. 
It was a full day.
We stopped to admire Mt. Rainier. 
We found an alpine meadow to hike around. 
It's amazing to go from the desert to this and back again in one day.
