That's brisk, baby!

While the air this week isn't quite as brisk as I'd like for October, we have had several really cool (bordering on cold) days already. I'm more than ready to ditch the short sleeves and bundle up in sweaters and coats, because it means my most favorite time of year is here! October is fun with pumpkins and Halloween; then November and apple pie, apple dumplings, Thanksgiving, turkey, and two days off from work; and it all culminates in December, the hands-down best month of the year.

But I shouldn't get ahead of myself. Plenty of harvest fun to be had before then...

We went to Cornbelly's Corn Maze and Pumpkin Fest last night with the kids and other assorted family members. This is our second year going and I hope it's a yearly tradition. The highlight is always the pig races. Who knew cheering for little piggies could be so fun! It was hilarious, as always, to watch T being his crazy self. Last year, we had him in the stroller and just took him out for activities. This year, we let him roam free and chased him everywhere. At one point, he sat down next to a random family, no doubt hoping they'd share some of their food.

Yeah for Fall!

I need to get some blown up photos of T to put around my house.

Why no photos of the pig races?

The pigs run very quickly, too quickly for pictures. :)

I remember when I was little...I saw piglets race at either Knotts Berry Farm or possibly a Harvest Festival of some sort...anyhow, it was hilarious. There was a whole stadium set up around these little pig tracks. Good times! WIsh I could see that again!

FALL activities are so great!!! We go to Apple Hill tomorrow! Wahoo!
