Ponies and Apples and Leaves, Oh My!

This time of the year is my absolute favorite thing about living in Minnesota! After five years here, I am still completely entranced by the beautiful colors and fall foliage, and I go cuckoo for the apple orchards, pumpkin patches, and numerous other fall festivities. We have been livin' it up as much as possible with this wonderful gift of warm weather, and we know that the frigid winter is just around the corner so we'd better enjoy the outdoors while we can! Here are some fun pictures taken over the last few weeks.

Band of Brothers--when I have all three of them in bed with me in the morning, I still can't believe they are all mine! I feel like the luckiest mama. :)

Oktoberfest in Stillwater

Brody and Mia played the Hammer the Nail game

Pony Rides

Aamodt's Apple Farm

Brody loved climbing in the tree to pick the apples.

That's Brad way up there picking apples from the top branches. He split his pants on the way down!

Snuggle bugs

(Brody always asks me, "Is this a cute picture?" and if I say yes, he wants me to get the camera and take it.)

Fall Leaves

You don't get colors like these in Texas!

Our street just as it was entering prime color

What's a pile of leaves without some chairs to sit in?

Happy Fall!
