Columbus Day Weekend 2015

On Columbus Day weekend, we did our traditional trip to get pumpkins, but we also jammed in a few other fall activities. It was a fun, busy time for all of us.

We started the weekend with a hike at Huntley Meadows. It was a beautiful morning, and we all loved being in the woods.





We're really lucky to live near such a cool place. After tiring ourselves out, we headed home for naps/quiet time. After resting, we got our second wind and went to Nalls for our pumpkins.




This last picture pretty clearly represents our life right now--someone paying attention, someone looking at the wrong thing, and someone throwing something.


It was such a funny moment that I made it into a gif.


Piper and Fletch insisted on carving the pumpkins on Monday. They drew the faces, and I carved. I don't have a picture, but between my "awesome" carving skills and their desire to have cyclops pumpkins, our jack-o-lanterns basically already look like a deer snacked them, which is probably why no deer have attacked them since we put them outside.

Anyway, we followed up that fall fun with a trip to Cox Farms on Sunday. It's a pricey place, but so.much.to.do. We had a great time, but were so busy that we didn't get a ton of pics. Enjoy these few and the cute barn animals.







That concluded our fall weekend of fun. The pumpkin/Columbus Day tradition lives on for another year.
