Happy Fall!

Fall in East Tennessee

Dylan and I went to the park on Sunday morning and I was able to spend some time taking photos while he played in the sand box. With gorgeous blue skies and the sun lower in the sky I was able to get some great photos!

A little bit of Fall

Leaves

Late Sunday we went outside and played in the leaves!

 "Mama, can you rake me a pile of leaves?"

 "Maybe I should do it myself..."

 "This is fun!"

 "Seriously, I could play outside all day!"

Or maybe not. "Mama, help me up."

Pumpkin Farm

Saturday morning we made our annual trip to the pumpkin farm. We decided to go to Deep Well Farm instead of Oakes Farm and generally we liked Deep Well Farm. It wasn't as busy at Oakes Farm and it's closer to home, but the farm left a little to be desired. They did have animals, which Dylan loves, he got to feed goats, pet a donkey, llama, baby pigs and see rabbits, ducks and chickens.

There was also a maze made out of hay bales, Dylan had fun making his way through the maze, but decided to climb on the hay bales at the end!

They also had a huge slide, tire swing, tractor, kids play area and corn kernal play area. Dylan and Dave made a few trips down the big slide.

After checking out all the animals and play areas we hopped on the wagon for a tractor ride over to the pumpkin patch. Dylan loved the tractor ride and didn't spend a lot of time looking for a pumpkin, he wanted to get back on the wagon for another ride!

All said and done it was a fun trip to the pumpkin farm. We got a few pumpkins and Dylan really loved the animals and tractor/wagon ride.

And who wouldn't love the llamas with a face like this?

Sorry, no race pictures yet. Dave didn't take any...

But this one should make up for it!
