Fall Festivities

These past few weekends have been filled with fall fun.

Two weekends ago we went to Howell's Pumpkin Patch to pick out the perfect pumpkins and some mums.

 Last weekend we went to Center Grove Apple Orchard and had a blast. If I had to decided which one was better, easily it was Center Grove Apple Orchard. There were so many different things to do and the weather was perfect!

Straw house

Stick house

Brick house

Corn fun

Jumping high with Daddy

Jumping all by himself

Jumping pillow

Large pedal tractors

Train

Giant Slide

Finding the perfect pumpkin.

This past Thursday we went to The Blank Park Zoo for Night Eyes. It was perfect weather in the 60's and Nolan looked so cute as Thomas the Train. He enjoyed getting candy, especially suckers, and riding on the carousel.

My favorite picture!

We are looking forward to carving pumpkins and trick or treating soon!
