it's fall, y'all!


A picture is worth a thousand words!  So - with that, I will not write much! 













 





















The temperature is in the 50's this evening.  It's been sweater / jacket weather all day.  It's pretty fantastic!  Spur of the moment - we decided to go apple picking AND search out for the perfect pumpkin after Mercer's (cold) baseball game today.  


We had a pretty great day, actually - as evidenced from the abundance of photos here.  (There were really about 80 photos that we kept out of the over 100 that were taken. This is just a sample!)

A couple of things that were pleasant surprises:  

1 - Mercer just jumping into a tree and scaling it to get to the apples at the top.  He had a BLAST climbing trees and being rewarded with some plump juicy apples.  I loved watching him explore overhead!  

2 - The hayride at Burt's farm.  It was great, actually!  Sitting on hay (instead of a hay bale).  Driving under a covered bridge.  Going through a real pumpkin patch.  There were these animatronic pumpkins, though, that were a bit cheesy, but the kids really liked them!  They had little displays set up here and there too with farm equipment and pumpkins.  I would recommend it.  I'm sure we'll do it again sometime. 




And this last little series - Isabella getting ready for bed tonight.  She wanted to "feed" her frog milk instead of drinking it herself.
