Did your computer just go into overload? Sorry about that. But when you get kids, horses, dogs, a rustic farm, and pumpkins all in one place, it's hard to edit photos.
For the past several years Beth A. and her mom Lynne and sister Amy have invited us up to Lynne's farm for a fall get-together. They painstakingly put together a scavenger hunt where the kids follow clues to find pumpkins. We crunch our way through the woods and the adults catch up while the kids run as fast as we'll let them.
The day always includes rides on a horse or pony, fabulous food, and some sort of crafty fun. This year Anne, John, and Ronan joined in.
I can't think of a more perfect way to run headlong into fall.
Props to Beth for taking nearly all these photos. I actually got to relax and enjoy the walked while she snapped and I tred to talk she and Dave into making their next camera an SLR.
