Pumpkins!

We have had so great luck with weather each Fall for our Burt's Farm tradition with Poppa and Nunno! It was a BEAUTIFUL morning! It was chilly enough but warmed right up in the sun! The kids were VERY excited to see all the pumpkins. They really do have some beautiful pumpkins..and LOTS of them!! We spent some time running around and checking out the pumpkins and then we headed for the hayride! Burt's has a really great hayride that goes throughout their property! We picked out a lot of pumpkins to bring home! Some for decoration, some to carve and some to paint! Then we found a great spot near the creek and enjoyed the SUPER yummy picnic that Nunno made for us! I think we were as excited about the picnic as the pumpkins! It is such a fun tradition and we look forward to it each year! This was our 6th year going with Poppa and Nunno and are very thankful for the fun Fall morning!
The adults got away for a great weekend in Highlands, NC. BIG thanks to Poppa and Nunno for watching the babies for us to have some adult time! The Coopers and Reillys went with us and we enjoyed having no schedule, great food and lots of great wine! It was a perfect Fall weekend up there! The trees were changing and the weather was beautiful!
We finally got our Halloween costumes picked out and the kids have wanted to wear them around the house! We are trying not to break our accessories before Halloween!
We enjoyed a nice weekend around the house together just the four of us! We even had some excitement this afternoon when we found a 2.5 ft. snake in the backyard! I am completely creeped out and decided it was time to play inside! The kids were entertained and Daddy to the rescue to get it out of our yard... it may or may not have been a violent end to the snake.
It's late afternoon and time for snacks and getting ready to eat our chili we made yesterday! Fall is such a great time of year!
