Pumpkins and other fall things

About a month ago Matt, Eleanor, and I made a trip to a local orchard/farm for some Saturday afternoon fall fun.  The cool part is that the place we went is owned by the family of a friend of ours, so we got to see Ruth Ann and also help support her family's business :)  We had a great time!  We went on a hayride, played in the children's area (including Eleanor's first swing ride), had lunch, and got a pumpkin.  The following weekend we carved our pumpkin - outside, thankfully, since the weather was so nice.  Eleanor loved carving the pumpkin.  She was so interested in what was inside, had a blast pulling out and touching the insides of the pumpkin, and even tried to eat a little bit of pumpkin.  Both days gave us some much needed family time amidst the craziness of day-to-day life.

First swing ride.  Not quite sure what to think.

Eleanor really liked the hay.

How tall is Eleanor?  (except the dirt is packed down, so it's a little inaccurate :) )

Mmm, pumpkin

This is so fun!

Pumpkin carving fun!  (If you look closely, the photo second from the right shows pumpkin in her hair!)
