Fall Fun

It's no secret ... fall is my favorite time of year! I took Simon to "Boo at the Zoo" -- a yearly fundraiser/activity for our small local zoo. It was crazy crowded but my little zebra had a good time!








This photo just cracks me up! I don't know why but it just makes me laugh to see a zebra milking a cow. : )







These photos are backwards but so it goes. We carved our pumpkins today. Photos will follow of our trip to the pumpkin patch where we found these very pumpkins that we carved today.




Simon requested a happy pumpkin, an angry pumpkin and a surprised pumpkin. What do you think? Do we fulfill his requests ok?






And here are the photos from the pumpkin patch here in town. We like going to them for several reasons ... we don't have to drive very far, no one gets muddy, it's not crazy crowded and the proceeds support several local non-profit organizations.





Last weekend, Mark made apple butter in the crock pot. Here he is consulting with his Mom on the phone about her apple butter recipe. The house smelled awesome! And the apple butter is delicious.



We love where we live but we have a lot of leaves to rake in the fall .... this photo is a bit like a where's waldo hunt. Can you see Simon? We've raked both the front and back yards now. We'll probably have to rake one more time as one of our trees in the front is still holding onto its leaves.



Simon helped me with the decorating this year. He loves these jelly-like window clings.


And just because I think he's a cute little zebra ... we're looking forward to Halloween!
