Fantastic Fall

What a fun and fabulous fall this has been...I love fall so much, it can be overwhelming trying to do as much of the wonderful things there are to do around these parts during the month of October.  So we have crammed in as much as we possibly could have which has made the month fly by...

The weather has been perfect so we have spent a lot of time outside...we spent one Sunday afternoon hiking at the River...

Another Saturday we went to the Fall Festival at the boys' school after Nate's soccer game

The kids were looking at the wrong camera but it was the only family picture that didn't include a certain 2 yr old's tantrum face

Another weekend, we drove up to Ellijay with Neena and Fred for the Apple Festival.  By the time we got there, got faces painted, bounced in all of the bounce houses, ate festival food, got apple slices to dip in caramel and ate apple doughnuts, and browsed some of the local "artists's" wares, the boys were winding down and we realized we hadn't even hit the area with the rest of the big attractions...but luckily the boys didn't notice.

Nate went up the man selling marshmallow guns and asked for a demonstration...the man was kind enough to let Nate have some target practice, which of course means Nate came home with a marshmallow gun.  He did put the red one back and chose an orange instead - daddy was proud.

And this past weekend, after soccer, the weather was just too perfect not to stay outside so we stopped by Cagle's Farm to play at the corn maze.

After Cagle's, we came home and carved jack-o-lanterns, made chili, made a fire on the back porch and roasted marshmallows.  Nate said, in between marshmallows, that "this was the best day".  I agreed.

Well, that about sums up our last few Saturdays...minus a quick visit from CC and Papa Steve.  The only thing we didn't do this October was actually go to a Pumpkin Patch wearing something besides a soccer jersey for a cute kid photos...but we had fun and I am sure that will be just as memorable as a cute pic.  I just love seeing smiles on these boys' faces.
