FALL WEEKEND FUN @ THE PUMPKIN PATCH

Nothing screams Fall more than a trip to the local pumpkin patch.
Our weekend ended up flying by and being quite busy, but we still made sure to squeeze in this festive outing.
Fall is here, and there is no doubting that. The days are cooler and I can feel the crisp air in the mornings. We've accepted Fall around here. The house is decorated, delicious BBW candles are burning, football is on Thurs-Mon, flannel + denim + mustard are being worn, the crockpot is in use, and our front porch is now filled with our pumpkins. I love it!
Oh and I could just eat up those cheeks of hers! #hearteyes
Surprisingly, for all 3 of us, this was the first time ever at the pumpkin patch. but what better way to do it than for us all to do it together. I'm certain this is going to be the first of many, many years ahead! We all had so much fun :)
Harper loved having daddy push her in the wheelbarrow. and doesn't she look just the cutest!? Something about this really kinda makes me want to live on a farm! Brandon thinks I've lost my marbles on that one ;)

I was so impressed with Spooner Farms! It was so much more than just a 'pumpkin patch'. It felt somewhat like a mini fair. From all the various pumpkins, the areas set up for perfect picture opportunities, the candy shop, food booths, animals, and face painting! - it was perfect for our first Fall outing.
We let Harper pick which mini pumpkins she wanted. If we let her, we probably would've come home with 5x as many as we did! If she could talk, I'm certain she would say, "mama, I want allll the pumpkins!" In the sweetest little voice you could ever imagine of course ;)
So pleased with her picks!
Any more pumpkins and her spot in the wheelbarrow was going to be squeezed out.
Harper absolutely LOVES animals. all of them. no matter what it is. and always has. They had ponies, bunnies, baby chicks, goats, and of course a few very large turkey toms (those turkeys are a bit intimidating if ya ask me). BUT there is something about oversized 'fake' animals that just gets her!
I can't wait to see how tall she is by this wall next year!
A fun, successful day out at the patch :)
Something about having a child now, makes all holidays that much better. If it's this great now, I cannot even imagine what our years ahead will be like! I am feeling so blessed with this little life of ours.
Happy Fall!
