pumpkin patch

 

We love the pumpkin patch. It is one of our family's favorite traditions. It is so fun to watch the kids wander around looking for the perfect pumpkin and changing their minds at least a dozen times. Throw in some apples and a hay ride and life is good. Truth be known we've been to the pumpkin patch twice already.

yes. that is corn. no. it is not cooked. yes. he ate it.

Fall is here

I can hardly believe that Fall has been here for a month. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous and we've been busy taking it all in. Hiking, a visit to the zoo, playing at the park, a quick trip to the beach, and back yard shenanigans.... it's been fun.
