Pumpkins Please!

I love this time of year. Sometimes I wish I lived up north where you really feel like it's fall with the weather and the leaves changing colors. However, I still have to embrace all the fall activities and I get to bring my husband and daughter along for the ride!

We were going to go to a large pumpkin patch this year, but we ended up looking up the "activities" online and for the almost hour long drive it just didn't seem quite worth it for Aspen's age--definitely next year! So we went to our neighborhood "Fall Carnival". I didn't take many photos because it was really crowded, but Aspen had a good time. Most of the activities were for older kids, however Aspen did win a stuffed animal in one game--another one to add to the collection!



Today we walked to a local church that has a pretty nice pumpkin patch set up. We went there last year with Aspen when she was only about 2 1/2 months old. Boy has she changed!





It's really hard to get her to even look at the camera sometimes, forget about smiling always. We have been noticing lately what an observer she has become when she is in a place with lots of people. She loves to just watch; who knows what's she's thinking!?!

It was a nice weekend--just spent time together, doing things around the house and enjoying some fairly nice weather. I love these next two shots--just had to include them!

Enjoying a bath!
