Okay. Fall is here (basically)
I'm ready to find an apple orchard or pumpkin match with mazes. I'm also super stoked for the covered bridge festival in Indiana next month. A week an a half of crafts, junk, food, covered bridges, and pretty fall leaves.
So what are your favorite things about fall? Any special things you like to do or places to go? Any plans or ideas for LO? Let's hear it!
Re: Favorite Fall Things
It will be DD's first time to go to the pumpkin patch & I'm SO excited! Taking DS every year is one of my fondest memories with him. Taking pictures, picking out pumpkins...it all gets me so excited for Halloween.
DS is going to be Frankenstein this year. Nothing for DD yet. I'd love some ideas for her if anyone has any.
My favorite thing about fall is ANYTHING pumpkin...coffee, lattes, pie, muffins, candles...I'm obsessed with pumpkin flavor and the smell!
Haunted houses with DW.
The renaissance festival. I've been going since forever and started taking the kids. We always go all out and dress up.
Linvilla apple orchard! We always go through the corn maze, feed the animals, go on the haunted hay ride, roast marshmallows and get an apple pie.
This year we're having a Halloween party woop! Also, dressing the kids up for trick or treating. We all always dress up and usually follow a theme.
Thanksgiving is always fun. My aunt goes all out with cooking and the whole fam comes over.
Cuddling with DW to warm up is always fun haha.
And just the overall warm and cozy feeling that this time of the year brings.
We love smithville! We go every year multiple times a year.
And we are taking DD apple picking in a few weeks so I'm excited for that! And for Halloween--she's going to be an owl!

Can't wait to go to a pumpkin patch with DS and dress him up for Halloween. Pretty sure he will be a ninja turtle!
Bon fires, making smores. Thanksgiving so I can watch the parade and stuff my face with food! I also have a fall birthday!
Fall is by far my favorite season!
We've never been during Christmas time
DD is having her first big birthday party this year with lots of her classmates. So fun to watch her get all excited.
I also like my fall wardrobe much better than other seasons. Maybe I'll actually fit into some of it soon!
I am looking forward to going to our fave cider mill with DD and drinking our hot cider as we walk along the trail.
We usually go to Ren Fest, but I think it might be complicationed with a LO to deal with. So next year for sure
Half my grocery cart was filled with pumpkin spice treats last time we went!
Also, DD will be dressed as a pumpkin for Halloween this year :-) so cute!
We have our "Irish Twins"

Chai tea and football are two things I look forward too. I also love fall style- especially the colors: eggplant, gray, maroon, boots, and chunky sweaters.
Now that it's cooler I can't wait to take my guy to the zoo and the pumpkin patch.
I hate the fall because it means winter is coming. And I loathe winter even more than fall. It's so depressing...
But if I have to love something, I love pumpkins and Halloween. I love fireplaces and warm tea/cider. I'd say I love long pants and sweats, but I wear those all summer long too so I'm not changing much there. Eh, don't remind me of fall.
I live in central North Carolina so we have beautiful leaves, pleasant weather and finally no humidity. So I look forward to football, baking anything, the pumpkin patch, fall mini photo shoot, cuddling, my birthday, my sons birthday, thanksgiving and all the family togetherness that comes this time of year!
