A Welcomed Break

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind since we moved into our new place (sanding, painting, cleaning, unpacking, organizing...)! so Saturday we finally decided to stop the madness and take a little break to enjoy the fun and festivities that accompany our favorite time of year.

We took a trip to the pumpkin patch/apple orchard and were thrilled with what we found!

There were wagon rides, corn mazes, pony rides, face painting, pumpkin painting, goats to feed and much much more. We pet the goats and horses, tasted the most delicious doughnuts and apple cider, and of course picked our very own pumpkins ,which was by far Ethan's favorite part! (Who knew that pumpkins could be so exciting?!?)

He squealed in delight when he saw the pumpkin patch and and squirmed until we let him down to crawl around. It didn't take long for him to choose his very own little pumpkin and I must say, he chose a good one!

I'm not quite sure what it is about pumpkins that he loves so much, but he still squeals in delight every time we open the front door because he knows his pumpkin is right outside.

There are so many things we love about this time of year, (cool weather, beautiful colors, crunching leaves, jeans and sweaters, hot chocolate...) but there is nothing greater than experiencing the wonder and excitement of it all with Ethan!
