We Heart Fall!

Yes. It is officially official. Fall is here. And the temperatures match the season....finally. We are loving the weather and the time of year. Lots of getting outside to enjoy the weather. Lots of chances to play and join in some fall festivities.

Last weekend was jam-packed with all kinds of fall fun. We kicked it off with the Downtown Get Down . The boys enjoyed the activities, face painting, and food.


Saturday morning was Eli's last soccer game of the season. My camera went on the fritz (and now the computer....ugh!), and I lost all of the pictures I took during the game. I'm bummed, but life goes on.

Once we got home from the game, we got geared up and headed out to a farm about 30 minutes away for a Fall Fun Day. It was incredibly low key and lots of good old fashioned fun. Both boys kept busy with all of the choices of activites. There was a GIANT hay slide, a corn bin (like a sand box, but dried corn instead), peacocks to watch and feed, a mock cow milking class, a hayride that you got to feed cows during, a "real" pumpkin patch, a millet maze, and more!


Prepare for the face plant in 3....2....1....


Once Eli got licked by the cow's loooong and scratchy tongue, he was done. Mommy got to feed the rest of the bread to the cows.


Who doesn't love a muscle shot?

Sunday was another big day with the Annual Pumpkin Carving Party at the Pope's. It was the biggest crowd yet which made for a fabulous potluck dinner, an intense carving contest, and of course, a lot of cuties in costumes. 


E picked out this year's face and helped draw it on, but was eager to run + play with his buddies, leaving Mommy + Daddy to carve.


Oh fall, we are glad you finally got here. And just in time for all the fun and Halloween!
