Fall

I love fall more and more every year.  And now it has taken on an even more special meaning because I have such a fun little boy to share it with (in addition to my fun big boy).  We're just recovering from a week of fall fun, thanks to Derek taking a whole week off from work!  We went to Myrtle Beach for a few nights, we visited the State Fair, and we went to Hill Ridge Farms, the Disney World of pumpkin patches.

Myrtle Beach was great, even though it rained for most of the trip.  My mom went with us, and we stayed in a great hotel on the beach.  We did lots of outlet shopping, eating, and other tourist-y things.  Davis got a kick out of feeding the catfish at Broadway at the Beach.  I personally think those things are creepy!

We met up with our friends Caroline and Garrett at the fair, and Caroline was a great tour guide, showing us all the best places to eat and play.  Davis loved the petting zoo and especially getting to touch a goat.  It was kind of odd and neat to see a zebra, llamas, goats, camels, and cows all in the same place.

Here are some pictures of our recent shenanigans...

Gorgeous sunrise at the beach

Davis is about to go down the slide at Hill Ridge, and he is telling Derek to count to three.  

Love this profile shot of my boy in the hay maze.  Maybe one day we will cut his hair?

Having fun in the "Hay Jump"

We met our friends Christy, Brian, and Cooper at Hill Ridge.  Davis and Cooper tried a little synchronized pumpkin lifting.
