Fall Family Fun

Can you believe it's already fall? I was just at the beach - what happened? The glorious autumn colors in our backyard are just short of stunning.


And to think Patrick
wanted to chop this tree down.


This year, Micah and Caelan were so glad to do pumpkin patching with their cousins who were visiting from Arizona. Trevor and Braden were so much fun.


This had been my first time to a real pumpkin patch where you got to cut the pumpkin off the vine. It was very cool. We bought a 40 pound pumpkin. Wow! (Stay tuned to see what I did with it!)




We also did a fun corn maze which had lots of great pumpkin trivia to help us find our way out. Did you know the pumpkin flowers are edible? Me either. Who knew?


My little pumpkin is asleep.


Also celebrating fall is Trevor's birthday (October 30th) who turned 8 and also their other cousin, Gabriel who turned 5 on October 7th. To celebrate Gaby's birthday, we were rolling pumpkins down a bowling lane.


Just kidding. Kids get these 8 lb balls and some rolling contraption. Here's all Gaby's pals at his bowling party. Happy birthday to both cousins!

Gaby is the one in the center bottom row with the grey shirt and funny face. :)
