I love everything associated with apple orchards and pumpkin farms...hayrides, picking my own apples, wandering through the pumpkin patch for that perfect pumpkin, feeding the farm animals, pictures of the beautiful fall scenery, etc. Well, last month, the girls and I went to an Apple Orchard in Lexington with the homeschool group...it is hands-down my favorite place to go in the fall! The place is huge with so much to do...and it didn't hurt that it was a gorgeous day!

Yesterday, we went on our annual family visit to Gallrein Farms and unfortunately, we weren't as lucky with the weather. Although we still had a good time, our visit was shorter than usual due to freezing little children.

| Please excuse my hair...it was SO windy out! |

| Ella did NOT want to sit on the hayride |

My autumn feels fulfilled now that I have gotten my pumpkin patch fix. Now it's time to carve our pumpkin!
