Ready for Fall!

We are so excited fall is here, even if the weather doesn't always cooperate. Fall is my favorite time of year - the changing leaves, cooler weather and upcoming holidays. We went to the Pumpkin Patch this past Sunday to pick out a few pumpkins. I'm not going to lie...I was a bit disappointed this year - the pumpkins weren't as big, some appeared to be bought from another farm, and the petting zoo was 1/2 empty. Regardless though we still had a great time, and Claire had fun. She talks about her pumpkins every day and we had to leave some inside the house so that she can see them all the time! Granny and Paw Paw met us at the patch and got some pumpkins as well. We usually have a pumpkin carving contest every year, which James and I take very seriously - ha! After the pumpkin patch, we headed to Granny & Paw Paw's house for lunch - yummy shrimp gumbo.

On our way....Claire better make room for the pumpkins!

Granny, Claire and Daddy are excited about the hay ride.

Granny finds the perfect pumpkin.

Claire makes sure no one tries to take ours.

Claire loved the geese. She stayed here and watched them for at least 5 minutes! And Daddy loved the Llama....he tooks TONS of pictures of this guy.
This is not a great picture....but it's the only one I have with all 3 of us.Claire peeks through the hole the wrong way!
I'm not sure who's more excited about the big green tractor...Claire or Paw Paw?!

It was a fun time!!
