Pumpkin Picking at Joe's Farm

I'm loving my pumpkin spice candle, creamer and have been eyeing plenty of pumpkin treats on Pinterest lately, but I must admit something--I haven't pulled any of my fall decorations out, yet.  Then, I found myself thinking about Christmas today (maybe it was the eggnog I saw at the store) and how excited I am to put up the decorations that I made last year...but then I stopped myself.  Back up.  What?!
Leave fall in the dust?  This is so not like me.

So while the pumpkins are still orange, I'm going to keep talking about fallish things.  Deal?  Deal.

Last week, I went to the pumpkin patch twice in one day.  First, with Asher's preschool class and then after Brooklynn got home from school with Husband and my brother & sis-in-law.   I decided that my girl most definitely needed to search out her own pumpkin, and since she's "outgrown" the school pumpkin patch field trips and because the weather was headed for more gray skies and rain, we decided it had to be that day that we returned to Joe's Farm.

 So we did, and all was well in pumpkin land.

We were finally able to update our pumpkin patch adventures
with a new family photo, too.  Thankfully!!

 

We went on a hay ride, ate farm apples,  purchased pumpkin butter and more apples even though we have an apple tree...?  Husband wasn't there for that part or he would have reminded me, I'm sure of it.

The weather did indeed turn on us, near the end of our visit, so we are so glad we were able to go when we did.  Do you make an annual trip to the p. patch?

Hope you have a festive weekend, friends!
