A few days ago we went to our first “Pumpkin Picking”!!!
Should I call it “Pumpkin Shopping”? Because we actually went to buy pumpkins at a farm stand, hahaha. We did not “pick” them in the field…anyway! We had a blast.
Back home, there is no such tradition. There, we have summer weather all year long. So now, we really enjoy seeing seasons’ changes, colors, and flavors. And, of course, we embrace new traditions with open arms. It is imperative for us to create memories with our children, and this has been a very special occasion for all since it was our first time.
We decided to visit Cox farm, a family-owned and operated farm with a long tradition in the area. It’s very close to home, and they organized a beautiful fall festival with many activities for the whole family. Our first impression was WOW!! I never thought it was that big; a 90-acre playground with slides, hayride, music, fun tunnel, animals, farm chores like milking the cow, some yummy food and the market.
The day was perfect. Not too hot, like the previous days, and not too cold.
We thought that the best way to handle it was by taking turns. So if I wanted to take pictures, my husband would run after our tireless boy, and Vicky would have to wait sitting in the stroller… Isn’t she cute?
But Matthew was not the only one who had fun! Our little princess loves music and dancing, so this was her favorite part of the day. There was a band playing songs, and they had a particular space, in the middle, for children to dance.
The other activity which was a total success was the play area with the tractors. Ohh boy… Matthew had so much fun!
Ohh Yeap…I was there too!! Here is the proof LOL.
We had a lovely family day! We just missed our oldest daughter, but she had to work that day. Even though we do not have the energy we had 20 years ago, we thank God for our children; Andrea, Matthew, and Victoria. For filling our days with joy and love. For allowing us to create these beautiful memories. And for giving us the health to enjoy them.
Happy Fall!!!
PS: You may or may not know that photography has become my latest passion, so here are some more beautiful pictures from that day!
