We had a hard time coordinating schedules this year so we could make our annual run to our favorite orchard to pick pumpkins and enjoy all things fall. We finally get it set on the calendar and then what happens!? It rains all.stinking.weekend.
A little rain never hurt anyone so we fested it up best we could. We started Saturday morning with Auntie and donuts - two of the BEST things in the world (especially if you ask the Wallis family).
This one specifically requested a PINK donut - we're working on getting more manly colors in his day-to-day routine. Bless his heart, he's been inundated with PINK since he was born and we fear it's finally rubbed off on him!
We headed to the Potters' Bridge Festival despite the gray skies. Phoebe was NOT a fan of the walk through the woods, in case you couldn't tell by her facial expression! And forgive me now, I left my camera at home so this blog is complete courtesy of the iPhone.
We cheered up a bit once we saw the hustle and bustle of the crowds.
There were about 70 vendors and a few were lucky enough to be ON the bridge.
Due to the rain, we didn't do much exploring OR play on the playground so the kids were ready to go. We managed to do a little sidewalk chalk before we left.
And once the bounce house was discovered, all was right with the world.
We ran a few errands and spent the day inside due to the weather. There was a cold front coming in so we broke out our warm and snuggly pajamas.
Before church we tried our hand at a boxed donut mix. They all disappeared so I guess we can call that a success!
After lunch with YiaYia, Papou, Uncle Steve, Bevin and Auntie Kate, we decided to fore go the water-logged orchard and head to a local market selling all things fall instead.
The kids had fun burning energy while we shopped for pumpkins.
We made it home in time to watch most of the Colts' game and attempted to roast pumpkin seeds and then baked the pumpkin and have enough pureed pumpkin to last us the whole season long!
