Autumn Lovin' Punkin Hunting! A Walk Down Memory Lane!

I have a bit of a problem with Autumn... I love it.

I think it would seriously break my heart if we lived some where that didn't have at least some kind of Autumn. A little chill to the air, a place to hunt pumpkins, some good crunchy leaves to chase. I'd survive...I'd find ways to "create" my own Autumn...But I know, I would miss it immensely.

And since we have it, we revel in it! We celebrate it!! We love it.

I thought I'd take us on a little walk down memory lane of all our (documented) Autumn celebrations over the last five years...

2006:

Our First "Married October" we went to the pumpkin patch and had a blast!

2007 ROO on the way!

ThE gReAt PuMpKiN hUnT 2011

We did things a little differently this year... Instead of our traditional pumpkin patch near us. We headed to a dairy farm that offers a hay ride to the "patch", a petting zoo area, a free corn maze, and a tour of the dairy barns. It was a blast! The pictures pretty much say it all...
