Pumpkins, cider, leaves, hayrides, it's all so fun! This is my favorite time of year! The kids love it too. My sister came down to visit with her two daughters two weekends ago. We took all of the kids to the pumpkin patch to pick out some pumpkins. There is a local family that has a great farm here that they open up to the public. They sell pumpkins, gourds and have a mini petting zoo and a train ride for the kids. They even have a hayride and a corn maze!
I convinced my pregnant (and not so willing) sister to go along for the fun! I suppose it might have been more fun for all of us if it hadn't been in the 90s that day! I'm sorry but who wants to be searching in a hot pumpkin patch or sitting on itchy hay when it is 90 degrees out? Wasn't very fun for anyone, let alone the pregnant gal!
We made our visit pretty quick. Went into the closest patch to find some beautiful pumpkins! Lugged out all that we could carry and went to enjoy the animals. The kids loved the donkey and the baby chicks!
After that they went on the little train, so cute! They all had a blast! Of course, they wanted to stay longer but I feared my sister's feet would explode if they swelled up any more than they already had. Gotta get the pregnant lady out of the heat! Thanks for putting up with us that day, Ang! I know it wasn't as fun for you as it could have been. At least we got lucky and found some great deals on baby equipment later that day. Hopefully that makes up for it!
Now we're anxiously waiting to carve our pumpkins. I love this time of year! I've been burning a spiced cider oil warmer that one of my daycare parents gave me last week as a gift. It smells so GOOD! I enjoy the fall scents more than any other! Pumpkins, spices, apples, pies, YUM! Makes me want to bake! Hmm.. wonder what we have in the pantry?
