Fun on the Farm!


We made our annual trip to Burt's Pumpkin Patch the first weekend in October. We could not have asked for a more beautiful fall day! An October blue sky, changing leaves, and a COLD morning made for a perfect trip!

As always, the kids had a great time going through all of the pumpkins until we found our one GREAT PUMPKIN! And of course, playing in the wheelbarrow is always a highlight too.

Afterward, we took a trip on the hayride, which the kids love. Their favorite part is the talking pumpkins.




This is one of my very favorite annual traditions. I love going year after year and watching the kids make these sweet memories.

Happy Fall, Ya'll!!

Fall is my very favorite time of the year. I love when the weather starts to turn colder and the leaves begin to change. To me, fall means campfires, carving pumpkins, chicken and dumplings, UGA football, and the fair! So far, we have been VERY busy, but have been having so much fun.


We started off the fall with a weekend of camping with the Ruddells, Stevens, and Fields. We always have an amazing time and it is so much fun to watch the kids play and make memories together. This was our first camping trip in OUR NEW CAMPER!! Yay for the Hayworths! We are SO super excited about this. No more tents for us :)

Monkey see, monkey do...

Sweet Joshie Bear LOVES to camp...


We even had a camping guest. Muffin, the class pet, got to spend the weekend with our little star student, Drew!!


We have also been having a great time with school activities. Anna Caitlin's class visited Tellus Museum. They had a blast! The whole class even got to make homemade ice cream and eat it!!


She is having such a great year and has made so many good friends...


All of the classes made "Twisted Fairy Tale" class pumpkins. Anna Caitlin's class was "Snow Smith and the 23 Dwarfs." Her Dwarf was named Sassy...VERY appropriate!!


Drew's class did the Itsy Bitsy Spider. Adorable!! He has the sweetest little class!!


And then, the very best part of fall, we took our annual trip to the North Georgia State Fair! Now, I know alot of people are not fans of the fair, but I LOVE every part of it! I love the cool breezes, the lights at night, the smiles on the kids faces, and the food! Especially the foot long corndogs and the funnel cakes! My children have been raised to love the fair just like I do. Anna Caitlin counted down for 6 weeks until we went...it is like Christmas for her!




Fun on the rides...
