Fall Celebration

We like to do fall oriented things on Evan's birthday. This year we decided to go to Rowley's South Ridge Farms. It was a gorgeous October day and it was so nice to be outside. It really made me feel like a regular family on an outing doing something really relaxing and fun. I wish I could say it was for our children, but it wasn't--it was all for me. :)
We got to go on a hayride through the orchards(as seen in the topmost photo) to the "pumpkin patch. I love how slow tractors go. I haven't been on a hayride in a long time so that was very soothing and relaxing.
The pumpkin patch was pretty picked over already, but we still found a pumpkin to bring home.

Back at the Big Red Barn, we waited in a slow moving line(which isn't as cool as slow moving tractors) to try their Cider slush(for Oliver) and pumpkin pie ice cream for Evan. As you can see, the ice cream was a big hit. Then we needed to do a little photo shoot by the old tractor sitting outside before heading home to take naps from our afternoon of being outside. What a great day. Yay for fall and families!

And yay for cute children to use as excuses to do fun stuff.
