Fall is So FUN!

How can anyone not love FALL!?! It is so much fun and a welcome break from the heat at just the right time! We Bassetts are huge fall fans, and we have enjoyed the fall weather greatly, especially these past few days. Saturday, we took a trip to Grammy and Pop's house where the girls had a BLAST!!! It was the first time I think they really noticed that there are animals larger than dogs that live there:) Elaine thought the goats were really funny, and a donkey even let her sit on its back! Elizabeth learned how to climb over the fence and enjoyed feeding the cows and shadowing Pop as he took care of the animals. It was an incredibly beautiful day, and we had soooo much fun!
Sunday, we came home from church, ate lunch and took naps. Then, off to the Pumpkin Patch we went!
(Side Note) I had charged my camera battery the night before and was ready to snap away... however, I failed to put the battery back into the camera before taking off! GRRRR! I had similar issues last year! Oh well, Justin's iphone takes pretty good pics, so at least we got a couple of good ones- just not as many as i had planned!
What a difference from last year- you would have thought Elizabeth owned the place, and Elaine, well, lets just say I did a lot of chasing! We actually stood in line and rode the train which was not built for adult passengers, but the girls thought it was great and I am sure we provided some good laughs for any onlookers. Lizzie conquered the big obstacle course and Elaine hugged a lot of Pumpkins. All in all, it was a blast! Can't beat a free night of fun with our girls!



When Monday rolled around, I just couldn't stop the fun of being outside, so we took Lizzie School to the park where we collected leaves and acorns- Science, right?:)
Then today, we just had to walk to Albertsons as Sonic happy hour was approaching and enjoy 50 cent juice slushes.
Fall Fever is real, and I have it! I just cannot help myself! I LOVE IT! Thank you God for being the God of seasons and showing yourself clearly in your creation- You are Beautiful!

Such cute fall spider outfits the girls have on. I love the matching stuff. Reminds me of Mom dressing us girls all matching for so long. ;) I'm also a big fan of this Fall weather! Yay! :)
