Tanaka Farms

This year we took the kids to Tanaka farms. Our first visit was last fall & we had such a good time we decided to make it a tradition. This year was extra special - our Japanese exchange student - Kasumi - was able to join us :) She just moved in on Thursday and she is such a sweet heart. She was very excited to participate in this American tradition.
Not only to we get to pick pumpkins off the vine - but we can also pick fresh veggies. This is my favorite part. Not often do my kids get to go to farm & see what vegetables look like before they are at the grocery store! The kids also had a great time running throughout the corn maze and trying to find the perfect pumpkin.
Last night we cooked pork tenderloin with all of our fresh onions, carrots & green beans - it was delicious :)




not a great quality picture - but it was a good action shot - I love Blake's face in this one!
