Winter...Spring....Summer...

Fall?? All you have to do is call...I'll be there? Really? Are you sure? We seriously came back from vacation at the end of September and it was already in the 60's. It's slowly been getting colder and colder each day! I really don't think we're going to have a "fall" this year....one of my favorite times of the year. We're trying to make the best of it though. Last weekend we went to a pumpkin patch and this weekend we went out to Germantown for some fall festivities.

Our first stop today was Possum Creek Metropark for their Harvest Jamboree. Free pumpkins, t-shirts, horse rides, scary stories and more.
Huge rotting pumpkin






Next up was Tom's Corn Maze.....my first time going through one. It was fun, but cold! I think it would have been more fun to have one other couple with us to race against (and no one else in there). It started to get easier to find the different checkpoints because people were making bird noises everytime they found it...so all we had to do was follow their calls. It still took us about an hour though!
"Over here, Mom!"



The maze theme was "Let Freedom Ring"

We heard that there is a kids "haunted" castle somewhere around here.....not really scary, but just to warm them up to the idea. That might be a fun thing to do next weekend! Then, of course, Halloween and trick or treating would be the following weekend. FUN, FUN!!

Is that a real rotten pumpkin? It is huge! I love corn mazes. I wanted to go to one this year, maybe if I got lost in one my water would break. I tried the swing suggestion you gave me. In any case. I am glad you guys had fun.
