Fall Fun 2014!

This year, we decided to take advantage of the fact that we live further west, and headed out to the mountainous areas of Virginia to create fall memories.

On October 5th, we visited Hollin Farms, again, with Grumpa and Grammy, to pick out our pumpkins.  This time around, the weather was much nicer and we happily strolled through the patch to pick out the perfect pumpkin.  Lauren wanted a small one, and most of them were HUGE, so we had to look a litter harder.  But we found some great ones!

                    

On October 12th, we visited the Corn Maze in The Plains with Grandpa and Mee-maw.  We picked out pumpkins for Mee-maw, watched Lauren go down some slides, and spent over an hour navigating a large corn maze.  Lauren loved consulting the map and enjoyed chasing after "her family".  After we got out of the maze, we hopped in the car and drove further west to look for potential retirement houses for Grandpa and Mee-maw.  It sure is pretty out there!!

           

We are lucky to have places like Hollin Farms and The Plains nearby, so that we can enjoy these fall outings.  Fall is definitely my favorite time of year and I hope we are able to continue making memories, like these, as the kids grow older.  And who knows...maybe one day (in the VERY far future), Chad and I will be taking grandchildren to the pumpkin patch and through the corn maze!
