Lil Punkin at the Pumpkin Patch

We had a great day. We started out at Two Rivers Park on the 3 mile walking trail. Evan slept in his stroller and we walked and walked. We saw some deer and two snakes (Yikes!) and just enjoyed the blue sky, the great breeze, and of course, each other. After leaving Two Rivers, we headed to the Hidden Valley Pumpkin Patch to pick out a pumpkin for our porch and to see what all the fuss is about. We loved it! The property was beautiful and it was fun watching all the families like ours picking pumpkins and enjoying the season. Alot of the kids were dressed in their Halloween costumes. I chose not to put Evan through that premature torture! (He will, however, be wearing it at our Life Group Halloween Bash.)

Next, we stopped in the Fresh Market. We've been meaning to check it out for awhile and decided today was the day because we were already on Hwy 10. I loved the atmosphere of that store! JR bought me some roses there; I chose the color yellow because it's such a fall color. Evan said he wanted us to buy him a steak kabob, but we told him he's going to have to stick to milk for now. He cried a little, but finally decided his ole Mom and Dad know best.

Fall is my absolute favorite season. Everything is so vibrant and the air is so crisp. Plus, there is all this anticipation for Thanksgiving and Christmas! The holidays will be better than ever this year with little Evaneezer's presence.
