Oh Pumpkin, where art thou?



This weekend we went to visit Hunt Club farms for the fall festival! Every year we love to go the the "pumpkin patch" and pick out a pumpkin, take a hayride, drink some cider..all of the above! This year we were fortunate enough to visit the farm with The Parsons family. Over the last several months, we have become the best of friends..they're our go-to couple and we have so much fun with them and their kids! Lee and I didn't pick out a pumpkin this year because we honestly don't have a place to put a pumpkin. We have no front porch, no back deck and our apartment is so tiny. We decided when we get a new home we will buy extra pumpkins to carve for not getting to do it this year! We did however, help Leira pick out her perfect pumpkin! The fall festival was so much fun...we of course browsed the pumpkins, played in the hay, pet the animals, watched Leira in the jump-jump! We had so much fun..more fun than expected and we can't wait to go back every year that we are here! There was so much to do that we didn't get to do it all, but it was a perfect fall day anyway. Here are some fun pictures from the day!















Afterwards, we headed back over to Seth and Julie's for our own version of Octoberfest. We grilled up sausages with peppers and onions..and burgers too since I'm not a fan of sausage..and some Octoberfest beer ..Although I didn't drink ;) Such a wonderful fall day! Yesterday, our plans for Howl-O-Scream were once again..scared away! We were supposed to go a couple of weeks ago and it rained. Then, we were going to go this weekend but we ended up lacking in the funds department! Don't think we're going to make it this year..I'm bummed about that but I can't complain. :) I am enjoying the season this year much more than last year, as I was sick. We're looking forward to the upcoming weekend! We are heading to North Carolina to see the fam and so I can accept the grant money that I applied for in person! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and that your week is filled with many blessings :)
