Sparkles

And of course after pumpkin patching,
it's time to bedazzle those little beauties!

On Saturday, we took our annual trip to Bates Nut Farm
affectionately renamed Nate's Butt Farm by the locals. :)


We normally go with my sister each year,
but this year we also brought the Schan clan along for the ride.

We smelled (I mean saw..?) the animalsPlayed in the corn fieldsPicked out Pumpkins(and gourds!)Stuffed our faces with yummy food
(which I respectfully took zero pictures of - not very attractive)

... and of course took a bunch of picturesAs always, it was so much.
BNF hold so many memories
and it's the perfect way to usher in the Fall!

Where do you go pumpkin patching?

Fa-la-la-la Fall

It's beginning to look a lot like Fall around our house.

The table is set.
The Fall garland is hung.The Fall candles are out.
And little pumpkins are popping up all over the place.
Goodness me, I love this time of year!

Every Fall,

Jeremiah, my sister and I

take a trip up to Bates Nut Farm.

This year she brought the boy along
to enjoy the yummy food, the pretty pumpkins
and all the silly pictures we take.

The Scarecrow Concert is always
the source of some good laughs
