Autumn Hayride

I love Autumn and I get excited about all that comes around this time of year. Two of my favorite holidays, Halloween and Thanksgiving, the changing leaves, and the brisk breeze and smell of the air.

On October 6th we went on a hayride to a pumpkin patch and picked pumpkins.

Beth (Tom's sister) & Rex

Bob (Tom's brother), Britta, Rex, Eli, & Asa

Tom & Ryan (Beth's husband) being goobers

Later that evening we went over to Tom's parents house for soup and scones and so the kids could decorate their pumpkins. Usually I look forward to carving pumpkins but not this year. We went the easy route with Mr. Potato Head parts.

Here's the finished pumpkins! The Mr. Potato Head parts were a little hard to poke through the pumpkins so it was actually the adults that ended up decorating them.

Oh...what a good idea for the pumpkins. Although I would be afraid that some little kids would steal them in our apartment complex. Looks like some fun. Cute pictures!

We have a couple of the same ones and I love them (although we bunked on it this year). Carving pumpkins is definitely not a favorite pastime of mine. They smell and for some reason my hands break out.

Love all the fall photos! I'm so sad we didn't make it to a pumpkin patch this year. Cute family shot, now only if Jayni were in it. It would be Christmas card worthy for sure!
