Headed to the Falls

After discovering the beautiful Fall foliage in the NE last year, I have decided we will make this a yearly trip to this area. Even though we couldn't get to Vermont, we decided to trek further north. We started in Toronto, drove north to Lake Huron, then back down South to Niagara Falls. We stayed on the Canadian side and never felt like we missed anything by not traveling into New York.

Brad and I went to the Falls years ago, but this time we thought G would really like it. We spent one day driving north, etc to see the most fall foliage. Then we spent the next day walking around the falls and the surprisingly "year round" carnival type street with rides, wax museums, etc. That evening we drove to the nearby Niagara on the Lake and toured some of the wineries. They are known for their reds and icewine. It was overcast and rainy all day, but we made the best of it. The next day was time to go home, and of course the sun came out and it was gorgeous! We packed up, found an illegal place to park, ran to the falls to take our picture and then loaded up and drove back to Toronto. We had a great time. Can't wait for the falls leaves next year!

He's all shook up, uh huh!

It's a busy day, but here's a post of my little king on the way to school this morning. What a little ham!! More later.

A Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

G and I went to the local pumpkin patch today. We have gone every year since he was born. This year he really had a blast. We took a hayride and rode on a mini tractor barrel ride. They had bounce houses, lots of animals, hay mazes, painted cut-outs, kettle corn, and pumpkins of course! We spent over three hours there, but we had to leave because it was starting to get dark. We can come back again before Halloween though. It's a really great place, and it's basically free!

Fall

I LOVE Fall! I really do. I love the smells, the colors, the festivals, just everything about it. Unfortunately there isn't a lot of fall in Texas, but I take all that I can get. We went to a Greek festival last week and the State Fair of Texas on Friday. We bought mums last night and planted them. This is the first year for me to plant a fall plant, so I'm excited. G picked purple mums that have probably a hundred blooms that will open in the next week or so. They will be gorgeous.

This morning G and I decorated pumpkins. What fun! We will go to the local pumpkin patch next weekend.
