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.

| Eleanor really liked the hay. |

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