I Love, Love, Love Fall


Today was one of the most beautiful Fall days we have had all season.  The skies were clear, the leaves were all shades of red, orange and yellow and there was just an overall feeling of Fall in the air.  Ahhhh, my favorite time of year!


Now with two kiddies it is very important to me to start coming up with some family traditions of our own.  I can remember back to my childhood and I cherish the traditions that my family had.  Last year we started the tradition of apple picking with my in-laws and I think today a new tradition has begun.


Today we went on the "Autumn Drive" - 12 farms open up a long one stretch of road and sell antiques, crafts, pumpkins, squash, mums, food-goods, pottery.  It was a gorgeous drive along country roads and it was so nice to spend a leisurely afternoon just gazing at all the Fall goodies they had to offer.


So, I ask you, what are your Fall family traditions?  Apple picking, pumpkin patches, autumn drives, corn mazes?  If you have not incorporated any Fall traditions into your family yet, don't worry, we still have a month and a half to go, so get out there and takes a fresh breath of Fall - you'll be very glad you did!!
