pumpkin patch fun!

Thanks so much for all your kind birthday wishes for Rainer.  It's hard to believe my baby is seven!

On Sunday we had a fun trip to the pumpkin patch.  We've been going to Faulkner Farms for several years now.  (An early trip documented here).  This day was beautiful, with a cool breeze blowing through.  We could not have asked for a nicer day.  The boys loved running through the hay maze over and over, especially Rainer.  We mostly sat and watched the boys play, which was awesome.  I love seeing them develop into little independent people.  They're so "free-range" these days.  I love it. 

We also took a hay ride and got kettle corn and delicious caramel apples.  I hadn't had a caramel apple for years--probably decades.  The flavor of tart juicy apple with caramel and tons of peanuts was amazing.  I'm basically still obsessing over it, a day later.  What is your favorite fall treat?
