Fall Fun!

I love fall. Although we don't experience fall in the stereotypical sense, it is still so refreshing to finally have a break from the blistering heat of summer!

In an effort to try and explain the concept of fall and harvest time to the boys, we went to a farm that has a pumpkin patch (of sorts) and a corn maze.

Xander enjoyed picking out his very own pumpkin!

Although I wouldn't recommend this with strollers EVER again, we still had fun at the corn maze. If it hadn't been for all of the contractions, I probably would have just packed Keegan on my back. The boys still had a fun time running around and inspecting some of the corn that was still on the stalks!

And we even found a fuzzy caterpillar. This little guy was very fast. Xander loved having the chance to let him run up his arm!

For some reason, I waited until the end of our day (right before naptime) to try and capture a cute picture of my two boys amidst the pumpkins. I'll remember next year to try this when they are fresh!

This place over on Power and Warner had such a wonderful mix of things to do. There was also a sand pit for the little kids, a cow barrel "train" ride, a jumper, small petting zoo, tractor to climp all over and a miniature hay barrel maze. We'll definitely be visiting this place again next year! We also went and painted our pumpkin with some friends and then had some other friends over the next day to bake and decorate fall leaf cookies!!!

YUM!
