Green Bluff has probably been our favorite discovery in Spokane so far. It is a little community north of Spokane with a bunch of small family farms and food stands. You can go and pick your own fruit and see animals (Asha's favorite part...the horses!). The first time we went was with Nana a week after Kali was born. We saw alpacas, ate fresh huckleberry ice cream, and saw horseys, as Asha calls them.
After that trip Asha has asked constantly about going to not only see the horses but ride them. So we made a trip this past weekend to pick pumpkins. Asha was not interested in pumpkins at all though. She kept telling us that the only pumpkin she wanted was the purple one (she has a purple plastic one to go trick-or-treating with and I think that is only because she knows she will get candy in that one!). She just wanted to run in the hay maze and see "horseys." Lucky for her, she has her dad wrapped around her little finger so when we saw they were doing pony rides we took her over. Swami asked her if she wanted to ride on a pony or a big one. She of course picked the biggest horse she could find. I was afraid that she wouldn't actually get on it, especially after we already paid the $5, but she did. She had no fear whatsoever. I am amazed/impressed by her all the time. Then we went for our treat. We had hoped to try the pumpkin donuts because we had heard that they were delicious but the line was a mile long so we got huckleberry ice cream (of course!) and a pumpkin cupcake. I think Swami's mouth still waters anytime he thinks about how good it was. While we were enjoying our treats Asha spotted a princess so we of course had to get a picture with her. Sweet little Kali just hung out in the stroller the whole time.

Asha is in a shy stage right now hence the face. I swear she really was happy and she even made us follow her around the festival. She keeps telling us now that she wants an orange dress and pumpkin wand!
