fall

nate was busy with meetings all day saturday.
i took the kids down to orange county and met nana and papa at the irvine railroad pumpkin patch.
it was a perfect morning.
slight chill, grey skies, and even a little drizzle.  
the first true fall experience i have had of the year.
except for smelling my yankee pumpkin spice candle with the air conditioning blasting.
that so doesn't count though.
desperate times.

nana and papa treated the kids to all the goodies.
train ride, bounce house, tractor racing, panning for gold, face painting, cookie decorating, beanbag toss, and a hay ride to end the morning.

it was perfection.
we even came home with six little pumpkins. 
that's right, six. 
we will soon be a family of six.
that is blowing my mind in and of itself.
