Gull Meadow Farms...


Every October since Andrew was 6 months old, we've taken an annual family
trip to Gull Meadow Farms for donuts, cider, pumpkins, hayrides and all around fall fun! It seems that we always manage to go on a sunny day where the weather is perfect too. Even though we've gone there for the past 7 years, we still manage to always have a blast! Every year it seems they add one or two new things to make it even better. This year the newest addition was a giant rocking chair. I was able to get the boys to climb on up and take a great photo. I rather liked this picture because they were all smiling happily which is rare these days!
I also like seeing how much the boys have grown since the last time we visited and they don't mind it either. I can't believe how fast they are growing! Aaron unfortunately wouldn't cooperate at this point, but I will take what I can get.
After playing around in Pumpkin Lane, we finally made our way over to the greenhouse to pick out our pumpkins. We usually get one for each child, but since Alexis was sleeping the whole time we were there, only the boys got to do the picking. They picked some great ones too that I can't wait to help carve!
By the end of the afternoon they were all tuckered out and ready to go home. They were almost too tired to walk to the car, but they soon got kicked out of the wagon so our pumpkins could enjoy the ride.
This is one of my favorite family traditions and I can't wait til next fall!
