Favorite Fall Outings

Over the past two weekends we've enjoyed a few fall outings with James. We were really trying to squeeze them in before Clara's arrival because I LOVE fall traditions and would have been sad if we'd had to take rainchecks this year! :)
First, we went to a local Cider Mill for a weekend festival. While the events for kids weren't quite right for James, he was totally thrilled to climb on straw bales and a pumpkin mound for a while.
James also watched over and over as the apples were washed and processed to be turned into cider! The cider donuts were awfully tempting but the line was soooooo long that we opted for kettle corn instead!
The last time James was here he was only three or four weeks old!! A lot has changed since then!
Then we headed to a pumpkin patch this past weekend. Thought this big pig was pretty cute, but James was a little intimidated after he snorted once!

picking out our pumpkin...
James loved being on a 'real' farm!!
It was actually really toasty Saturday so we enjoyed cider slushes...they were really yummy!!

Won't be long before we add Clara to the family picture!! My due date is October 18th...we'll see if she decides to come early! I've tried to let her know she's welcome any time. :)

From the most recent pics I'd say it looks like she could come any day! and I'm sure you're more than ready to meet her!!! I sure can't wait to hold her in December!!!!!

James and Mark are sooooo cute together! Love the pictures! Love you guys - I'm praying Clara comes soon and that it is a good and fast delivery!
