I Love Fall

This past Saturday we spent a day doing fun fall activities and I loved it. I love everything fall: the way it smells, feels,looks, it's just a fun time of year!!! We started out our day in the freezing cold getting our pictures taken. I have always wanted fall family photos. The weather had been unseasonably warm two days before our photos were to be taken, the temperature took a huge drop. The kids did really well despite they couldn't move their limbs. Actually I think the cold was really to our advantage because them they couldn't run away. I don't have the pictures back yet but I will post them as soon as I do. 

After we got our photos taken, we went to an

activity for students and their families from the medical school on a farm. You got to ride a wagon to a corn maze that led into a pumpkin patch and then you could go back to the main entrance and look at some animals, but some food or go down a big slide. You can tell be Jocelyn's face that it still hadn't warmed up yet but the kids loved the hay ride. Jackson just loves anything that makes him think he's living on the end. No car seat, no seat belt, this kid was living the high life. 

The corn maze was nothing special in fact it was over before I could get the camera out. Jackson led the way and a good leader he made because he found the exit with only one wrong turn. The exit led us to the pumpkin patch where you take home a pumpkin for everyone. We got three to add to our two at home to make our grand total to five. One for everyone in the family. After we selected our pumpkins we got back on the wagon and made our way back to the front. We looked around a little bit, let the kids go down the big slide a few times then decided we had froze       enough and headed home. Later that afternoon, during the OSU game halftime of course, we went to Hayden Run Falls to see some fall foliage. It was a very pretty autumn walk. Dad went down to the river to give us a lesson on skipping rocks. The kids just wanted to chuck them. We had a fun day. oh how I love fall in Ohio!!!

Doesn't Kelsey look like she is enjoying it? 

I hope that a bird didn't fly by as 

Jocelyn was going down. 

That would have been bad.
