Fall Adventures!

I love fall! It is by far my favorite season. Growing up, I would always say Summer was my favorite season, but this year I have realized it is not. This past summer, I was in school. So summer was not "summer" for me. I realized that summer is too hot, unless you are able to lounge around the pool all day or sit on the beach, then I would love it to be hot. Summer is not fun when you have things to do and places to be. But I have discovered fall is perfect. It is not to cold, and not to hot. You can bundle up and feel perfect. I love the smell of fall- crisp and cool. During the fall months, you can find anything in pumpkin. Pumpkin spiced lattes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin colored shoes, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin ravioli's, pumpkin colored shirts, pumpkin bagels, pumpkin candles (Which I am currently burning!) and even pumpkin cream cheese. I love pumpkins and anything that has to do with pumpkins. This is another reason why I love fall. Fall is also very pretty with pretty changing leaves.

This past weekend, Kurt and I visited Kurt's sister Kori and her husband, Steve. We did fally things and celebrated fall. Here was our bucket list of things we wanted to accomplish this past weekend.

1. Carve Pumpkins.
2. Bake an apple pie.
3. Drink fall drinks- pumpkin or apple cider.
4. Go to a corn maze.
5. Watch a scary movie.
6. Take Chester to the dog park.
7. Take fun fall pictures :)
8. Have a bonfire.
9. Burn a fall smelling candle.
10. Go to the "signs" store in Hanover. (I love quotes/signs, and Kori told me about this awesome store)

We accomplished the following from our bucket list:

1. Looked at pretty pumpkins- but unfortunately did not carve them. :(
2. Tasted different types of apples at an orchard and made a delicious apple pie. :)
3. Drank apple cider.
4. Went to a corn maze, but did not complete it. CORN mazes are hard. Especially when you do not have a map!
5. Kori turned on "Children of the Corn" by Stephen King, but I of course freaked out and decided I did not want to have nightmares. Therefore we did not watch a scary movie.
6. Chester was under the weather cause he had surgery on friday, so we played with him inside instead of at the dog park.
7. We took many fun fall pictures at the orchard and throughout the weekend!
8. Had a fire and roasted marshmellows!
9. Kori has many wonderful candles- including a pumpkin candle, that we burned all weekend! It smelled delicious!
10. We went to TJ Maxx instead of the "signs" store. I have to many signs/quotes already for our small apartment. TJ Maxx was oodles of fun!

Here are some pretty pictures from the weekend! Yay for fall!

We had a blast at the Haines! :) Can not wait to go back!
