Autumn.

Autumn is definitely one of our favorite seasons (OK, so there's only 4 seasons, and I would probably say that about everyone of them...except winter-but Nathan loves winter!) The weather here, like many places, has been beautiful. It's been sunny and 80 degrees almost everyday, but 50's at night-perfect for sleeping with the windows open...also did I mention no humidity! Yes, it's been wonderful.

Gorgeous Autumn weather + Saturday equals annual trip to the pumpkin patch. We ventured to a new place this year called Garden of Weedin'. It's very "earthy" and affordable...not at all commercial, and really great. The kids had a lot of fun finding the right pumpkin, and I had a great time searching through the produce shed.

I went home with 2 large pumpkins, 2 butternut squash, 2 acorn squash, and 7 mini pumpkins
for about $5.00!

We were able to meet some friends from Church. They have a daughter the same age as Ella as well as a son the same age as Nathan.

Now we just need to light our pumpkin candle, have some pumpkin muffins (or maybe some pumpkin pancakes), and do some leaf prints! Oh yeah, and who could forget the apple orchard...hopefully we'll have pictures from there next!
