Pumpkin Patch





We had the PERFECT fall day this week.  We went for a little drive out into the countryside to go to a u-pick pumpkin patch that a friend had recommended.  The drive there was SPECTACULAR.  Fall leaves, golden afternoon sun, a meandering stream.  I really wanted to stop to take pictures, but I was driving on a little two lane street with nowhere to pull off.

The pumpkin patch didn't disappoint either.  The farm we went to had the perfect little pumpkin patch at the top of a hill overlooking the orchards and surrounding countryside.  We got to the patch pretty late in the day and there was no one in the field.  Nathan was so happy to go play with the pumpkins.  He got so dirty!  He helped me pick out a few pumpkins to bring home which he happily plays with every day.

We topped the visit off with some apple cider donuts.  Like I said,  it really was the perfect fall day.

See, now, this is what I'm talking about. Beautiful!

Also, It looks like Nathan got a hair cut and I don't like it one bit. But only in a "why does he look so old?" kind of way. I actually think he looks quite handsome.

Happy fall!
