Bartel's Farm.


I LOVE THE PUMPKIN PATCH!
I love coming every year & taking pictures with these same cute people of mine, in the same cute place. Bartel's Farm is the best. Strolling Sunflower Lane is my favorite, but this year we did the corn maze too and the kids had lots of fun with that. We picked cute little pumpkins for our mantel & went home with lots of roasted peppers that we have been adding to everything we can think of. 
I hope you are settling into Fall & whatever it has for you, have a good week!

The Zoo.


Over the weekend we visited the Denver Zoo. Chris' family met up with us there & it was sweet to be together & spend time. The weather was beautiful & after waking up to at least 5 inches of snow the following day, a Saturday spent outdoors couldn't have been timed better.
The kids loved some different things this year... the bats, the lizards, the cheetah, and as always the giraffes & elephants. They still want nothing to do with monkeys three years running & unfortunately the Lions weren't out as we had hoped. They told us all of their thoughts over dinner & it was some of the very cutest conversation I've ever been a part of. Chris and I were both swooning so hard over our kids that we secretly started filming them and their little voices and hand gestures. Are we creepy? They are so much bigger & smarter & imaginative every day, and whenever we spend time going back and watching videos of them it is the best. 
So thankful for this family of mine, I'm the luckiest.
