Fall Festivities

Sunday was another gorgeous and unseasonably warm day. We decided to take advantage of it and make our annual trek to Gull Meadow Farms.  This place is the epitome of fall fun: pumpkin patch, apple picking, cider, donuts, and tons of fun things for the kids to do.  We were not the only ones taking advantage of the day: the place was packed!  Nathan had an absolute ball running around the kids' area and exploring all the activities.  Natalie was a cooperative little baby, and slept peacefully the whole time, only waking up long enough to eat.  I must say that it was a little odd to be at the pumpkin patch wearing shorts and flip flops and sweating, but I'm not complaining!

Boy on the run!

Nathan loved the hay bale maze.  He must have run through it at least 20 times!



RUN!

This is what Natalie did the whole day. :)

My sweet kiddos!

Mmmm... donuts!

Natalie was not interested...

So Daddy ate her donut! :)

Apples taste better when you pick them yourself.

The apple train was, by far, the highlight of the day.  Nathan loved it so much that he waited patiently in a very long line twice so that he could ride it more than once!



Our last stop was to pick out the perfect pumpkin.  Nathan took this very seriously and examined almost every single one before declaring a winner.
