Fall, Festivals & Fun

We have had a couple busy weeks here in the Rattay household. (Yeah, so what else is new?) Joshua is doing much better at school, now. He has been taking a small stuffed animal with him, (one of several, actually... he chooses one each school day) and that seems to have made a big difference in his attitude about the whole experience.

We went to Simmons Farm last week to pick apples! I wasn't sure how it was going to go, but we all had a really good time. The trees were a lot smaller than I expected, and Joshua was actually able to reach the branches, and pick them himself. He was so excited about the entire process. We only bought a peck, but we're still eating apples!



We will be going back to Simmons next week with Joshua's preschool, for a hayride and pumpkin picking.

Earlier this week we went back to Round Hill Farm again, for the sole purpose of taking fall pictures of the kids. Joshua was pleasantly surprised to find out there were 2 new baby cows on display this time. Amy and Gregg went with us, and I was able to take quite a few nice pictures of the kids.





Tomorrow night we are joining in on a hayride with MoMo at Mingo Creek State Park. I'm hoping to be able to attend one or two more apple / pumpkin / fall festivals in the next couple weeks... I'll keep everyone updated.
