This is the first time I have made a bucket list for one of the seasons and hopefully it will become a fun tradition for us. With it being our first fall in Atlanta I figured it was time to start. One of the things I was most excited about doing this fall was going to the pumpkin patch. I love seeing posts and pictures of friends going to the patches this time of year. It makes me so happy when families are able to enjoy the Holidays together.
It almost seemed like we weren't going to make it to the patch as a family this year. Stephen has been pretty busy in his rotations and until his cores are done he is just going to keep getting busier and busier until May. Luckily he had this weekend off so we made time and went to the pumpkin patch at the Methodist church that is just a few minutes away from where we live. All of the big pumpkin patches are a couple hours away so I was really happy to find out about the one this church does every year. They do pumpkin patches in the fall and then Christmas trees starting the day after thanksgiving. If you bring one of your pumpkin seeds when you go to get your Christmas tree they will give you 5$ off your tree! I think that is absolutely adorable. We aren't planning on having a real Christmas tree this year but we kept one of the seeds anyways just for fun.
It was the perfect day for going to the patch, not to hot and not to cold. Stephen had gone to the store that morning because we were out of milk and he brought home some doughnuts. So we had doughnuts and hot chocolate for breakfast. Then after Everett's first nap we went to the patch. One of the workers there thought Everett was so adorable and that he looked just like a little scarecrow in his outfit. We picked the 3 best pumpkins they had and took lots of pictures. Then for lunch we went to olive garden. This was a great day and I can't wait to do all of the other fun things we have on our fall bucket list!
