The Pumpkin Patch

A fast-becoming-favorite seasonal event that enhances our most anticipated time of year is the return of the local pumpkin patch and petting zoo. Our first trip was last year for Audrey's second birthday, and it made enough of an impression that she would randomly bring it up months later. Of course, when That Time rolled around again, we had to pack up and go... though we did cut it close this year, making it on to the grounds of the autumnal fair on the next-to-last day their gates were open! However, the weather was perfect, the kiddos in great spirits, and the animals more than amicable... and this year, our now-three-year-old was much more bold around the furry and the feathered...

We so love this new tradition, perfect for really, fully welcoming the fall... and also perfect for embracing every opportunity for another seasonal favorite... pumpkin pie! Happy weekending!
