Happy Fall

I think that fall is my favorite season! The colors are just beautiful, the weather is cooling down, and it you can take the chance to slow down and to get ready for the holiday season. One of my new favorite fall activities is to visit the pumpkin patch with the kids. Now that Isabelle is older, she is really starting to enjoy the pumpkin patch and get into it a little bit more. This year we first visited a local nursery that has a huge pumpkin display where the kids can explore and go on a treasure hunt. She might not understand the treasure hunt premise but she has a lot of fun running around and doing kid stuff.

Barrett of course just goes along for the ride. He enjoys it most when Mom does not have his face in the sun. I have to be careful of that; his little eyes are sensitive just like his Dad’s. He did very well when I put him down to take pumpkin pictures. There was one pumpkin there that was huge. It was so much bigger than he was. I just had to put him down to see how he measured up.

Let’s see there was a hay bale maze that the kids could go through. Isabelle always got stuck in the same spot. I went through it with her one time to show her how but she still managed to get stuck in the same spot when she went through it again. It was too cute! She was a pretty big sport about it. She picked out a couple of little pumpkins to help decorate our steps to the front door and then one big pumpkin to carve out. We’ll be doing that later on this weekend; it should prove to be very interesting. I think that Isabelle will really enjoy pulling out the seeds.

I hope that you are all enjoying your fall season as much as we are
