I love Fall; it's my favorite time of year. We went apple picking for the first time last year and loved it. Unfortunately, the orchards in Georgia are all way up north, and they are only open on the weekends. We simply don't have a free weekend this month where we can take a day to drive up and pick...oh well, maybe next year. Another fun thing to do in the Fall is to go to a pumpkin patch. Again though, the really fun ones are well over an hour from home. Well, on the way to school this morning, we passed a local church that had their pumpkin sale out front, and Lily made a comment about how fun it would be to go visit. So, after Ryan and I got home from work, we all changed clothes (it was a beautiful day out today) and headed on over. It's about 8 minutes from our house which is much more doable. The girls loved it. So, it wasn't a whole day filled with family fun, but it was a great way to spend a little time playing together on a gorgeous day before dinner! Here are a few pictures to enjoy.
The girls loved walking and running all around looking at and touching all the different pumpkins. They really liked the big ones, the green ones and the very bumpy ones. It is all so fascinating to them.
Lily is getting so tall!
Mia is a growing girl too!
Loving being around the pumpkins.

We girls pretended to be scarecrows and a dog.

Finally we picked out our prize pumpkins to bring home to decorate; we're not going the jack-o-lantern route this year, and they were very excited that they would get to decorate their own pumpkin.
Markers and stickers...let the decorating begin.

What a fun evening!
