It's Harvest Time

Over the past month or so we’ve visited three pumpkin patches.  They are a great place to let a toddler get the wiggles out.  Plus I absolutely love being outside and enjoying God’s creation.  We are very thankful the month of October was filled with sunshine and beautiful days.

Our first stop as a family was Baggenstos Farm.  They are just over the hill from us and have a free hay/tractor ride to the pumpkins.  We enjoyed their homemade french fries and Katelyn had a taste of her first milkshake!  

Then we met dear friends Andrea and Tyler at Lee Farms while they were driving through town.  Andrea and Tyler lived in England for three years and we hadn’t seen them since they moved back to the States.  They are settled in California and I hope more visits are to come now that they are only a 10 hour drive and not an international flight away.

Katelyn wasn’t feeling that great but she saw Andrea and knew right away she was her special “Auntie Dre”.  Gotta love FaceTime!  

Thanks friends for stopping on your drive north to see us.  We love you and can’t wait to connect again soon.  

Our final trip was with another dear friend, Theresa, and her daughter one HOT afternoon.  Seriously, we could have gone in shorts and tank tops it was so warm.  We checked out Lake View Farm in North Plains and the girls loved it.  There was a boat ride to the pumpkins and a train ride back.  Plus a fun hay maze that Katelyn loved and lots of animals.  

Halloween is not a holiday I like to celebrate.  I’d much rather focus on fall and harvest.  But when you have an adorable little one you just have to dress them up.  Katelyn went to our MOMS group in her costume and stayed in it for most of the day.  It only came off for meals and a nap.  I loved playing dress up with my girlfriends growing up and hope that Katelyn will as well.

Delighting in Him.
