Arboretum in Fall

This weekend was a beautiful fall weekend and we tried to spend as much time outside as we could. In addition to planting fall carrots, we went to the arboretum. All of the leaves changing colors were beautiful and it was great to be outside enjoying it all!

Pumpkin Carving

This Saturday was quite windy and rainy, so we decided to stay home and carve our pumpkins. Maddie and Otis had a ton of fun digging out the guts and drawing faces on their pumpkins for Eric to carve. In all, it was a really cute day!

Fox Hollow Farm

We thought we were going to a pumpkin patch this past weekend, but ended up with a fun farm adventure instead. The kids pet a pig, a small pony, and a mini goat. We also rode on the train and swung from a rope swing in the hay barn. It was a really fun day!
