marshmallows, wine and giant hay slides

We love fall around here. Today is the official first day of autumn, and ours is already off to a running start! It seems like there are at least a couple of fun events every weekend to get us outside and enjoying the cooler weather, apple cider, animals, pumpkins, and all that fall-y stuff.


We kicked this past weekend off on Friday night with a marshmallow roast in the backyard:

Saturday we met some friends at a local wine festival - the perfect event for parents since it provides entertainment for kids and adults alike. We took in a hayride, ate yummy snacks, even got to play some corn hole, and let the kids romp around, all while enjoying our vino.

Sunday night, I snuck in a very lovely girls night out, and we celebrated Kristin's birthday over some delicious ravioli...

And today after school, we headed to one of our very favorite farms for the first week of their awesome fall festival! We met up with Jersey Baby and stayed until the place shut down. We can't get enough of their giant hay slides, spinning vortex and corn maze, super long hayride thru the disco light show barn, and all the cute baby animals (the baby piglets below were just born last night!).

The best part about having kids is getting to be a kid all over again yourself.
