A few more pumpkin patch pictures. Max had the best time hunting for the perfect pumpkin. The rule is that you have to be able to carry it if you pick it out. That saves Mom and Dad's arms and wallet!

This is the "Jack o Lantern train." It was the hit of the season! It takes you around the farm and then drops you off at the huge hay pyramid/maze. You can stay out there as long as you want, then you catch the train back. Such fun. And, of course, they had farm animals out there to pet! My kids could not get enough of the animals this year!

Pumpkin carving. Mom prefers the potato head pieces, but Olivia insists. And, Jon and her love to roast the seeds for a salty snack!

Ian helped clean his guts out. Yuck! He loved it, of course!

And, just for bragging sake, here is the applesauce I canned. I learned a lot this year, doing this alone. For example, I learned that I never want to do it alone again! However, this is the yummiest applesauce that I have ever tasted, so it was worth it. Even if it will be gone by Thanksgiving!

We hope your autumn has been as lovely as ours!

Fall fun

Fall wouldn't be fall without lots of trips to farms and pumpkin patches. We love it! We look forward to it! And, we had some great sunny days that we took advantage of by visiting some new spots! Here is Molly in front of a straw pyramid that had a maze inside! It was a super fun Monday night outing (the face paint was her own doing...)

After carefully choosing their pumpkins, Max and Molly decorated them with their potato head pieces. This is something they LOVE doing every year! This year they hardly needed any help!

The tractor we rode at the apple farm! Such a blast! We went in a giant apple inflatable bounce house, ate huge carmel apples, got our faces painted, and pet lots of farm animals!

On the tractor. This farm was seriously beautiful. It made me want to be an apple farmer when I grow up!

Which one weighs more?

Hip, hip, hooray for fall!
