You can kiss your family good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world, but a world lives in you.

See You at the Patch...

We took the annual trip to Burt’s Farm again this year...it’s certainly become something the girls expect and look forward to every fall. And this year’s trip did not disappoint. We got up bright and early on a beautiful fall morning, loaded up the car with a packed lunch and extra clothes and headed up in to the mountains for Burt’s. BY the time we got there, plenty of people were already filling the parking lot. We started off with the hayride around the farm. Afterwards, we took some time to play hide and seek in the HUGE pumpkins. And then, we had to get to work and find our pumpkin. Each of the kids got to pick their own this year for the big pumpkin carving contest coming up on the 29th. And then, they each got a little one for their room. By the time we were done, the back of our car looked like a small pumpkin patch. After we finished at Burt’s, we headed across the street to Amicalola Falls State Park for some lunch and time on the playground. Drew spent most of his time going up the stairs and down the slide. After playing and lunch, we took a walk and let the kids run up an down the hiking trails for a few minutes. And after that, we were ready to head home. Here are a few of the pics from our day, but there are tons more on the Shutterfly site. The kids were so cooperative for pictures, that we got lots of good ones.
