we found pumpkins

 So, my sister and her husband are kind of adorable. 

At the beginning of the month we went on a little adventure to document the Autumnal goodness and their love. 

I wanted to share a few of those moments with you here.

We went to Lester's Farm first. 

Pumpkins and scarecrows were everywhere. 

Elizabeth fed the animals and we all tried out the Corn Maze!

It was my very first time going through one so I was pretty 

pumped about the whole idea.

(Oops, I think those pumpkins look radioactive, too late to fix it now!)

Next, we stopped by Bowring Park. I was a little disappointed to find that the trees weren't yet as colourful as I'd experienced a number of years ago. But joy was found in chasing the pigeons!

[I had to hop in there, the river was pretty!]

[Can you handle the cuteness?!]

We drove around downtown and took a little wander in Bannerman Park, but it was the same deal--not as colourful as we'd hoped. Nonetheless it was a pleasant day and good company.

I leave you with a few pictures taken during the trip on my iPhone: 

[Sometimes I like how they turn out even more!]

This picture with Elizabeth makes me super happy. [SO MANY PUMPKINS!]

As does this one with Shane in Bannerman Park!

I hope you find time to explore some of the fun things 

this season has to offer!

thankful

for moments like these where you forget that you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and are able to enjoy nature with some precious souls. Shane drove Elizabeth, Catherine and I to Cataracts Provincial Park today. It was a small area but that doesn't diminish the grandeur of the gorge. The waterfalls are something worth visiting and we happened to have it all to ourselves. It's a new place to love!

We also continued the drive to Placentia hoping to visit Castle Hill, neglecting to check if it was open before going. It wasn't, but we enjoyed the trip, listening to random 90s and early 00s selections, looking at the incredible Autumn colours, or simply dozing in the back, haha. We ate at Monty's on the way back and also fit in a little run in Shane's big truck before dark. Another first.

I'm glad to have Catherine home for the long Thanksgiving weekend. We've been catching up on lots of Once Upon a Time this time around. Binge TV watching is the best.

Happy Thanksgiving!
