Wow, October's already over. Christmas is in just 7 weeks. Can you believe that?! Honestly, 7 weeks ago was already 2 weeks past Labor Day. Doesn't that seem like it was just yesterday? It does to me. While I have 98% of my Christmas gifting done and sitting in my basement, I still feel overwhelmed with it just being 7 weeks away.
Anyway, can I just say how much I LOVE having a real autumn again!?! It has been GORGEOUS. Absolutely stunning. And I can't get enough of it. The colors, the trees, the leaves, the wind, the cold, the smells, the food...ahh...I love it!
This October was VERY full and very fun. Here's a highlight of our month:
For our anniversary, we started off the day going to an apple orchard. It was free and a lot of fun.
They had this little corn maze that we could go thru and had a fun time picking dead corn and talking about it. Very educational :)
There was this great little wooden train play area that the kids had a great time in.
Then there were hayrides every 2 minutes or so all over the grounds.
Taryn was a little disappointed that we didn't buy this really big pumpkin. But nothing is ever cheap at an apple orchard store is it?
That night, Braden and I went to the Science Museum to see the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit. It was cool, but I was a little disappointed that they brought tiny, tiny scraps of only 5 scrolls for the exhibit. But the first hour of the exhibit, learning about the history of the scrolls, was cool. Then we went out to eat at a restaurant using restaurant.com's $25 gift certificates for only $3 deal. It was delicious! And saved us a bunch of money. It was a great night and we had so much fun.
