Pumpkin Patch

I have a love-hate relationship with fall.

Love it because it brings heavenly-hued autumn trees, chocolate chip pumpkin cookies, early Christmas shopping, steamy mint hot chocolate, and holiday baking.

Hate it because although it likes to seduce me with 90 degree sunny days in October, that crisp air in the morning reminds me that freezing temperatures are just on the horizon. And well, cold weather makes me grumpy.

But let's focus on the good stuff, shall we??

Like our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. Definitely in the LOVE category.

But who can resist the Cow Train...

"Corn Box" (which we literally had to drag the girls out of to move onto the next attraction)

Hayride (Which only lasted a few minutes... but put Baby Ty right to sleep!)

The giant jumping pillow (I even joined in on this one!)

And "pumpkin hunting" in the pumpkin patch.
(The girls named theirs "Tricksy" and "Fred" and have been toting them around the house ever since!)

Okay autumn. Maybe we can be friends after all.

(Winter? Well, that's another story!)
