On Saturday morning, Mira and I bought some yellow, white, and red mums to plant. Then Kenny, Mira, and I all worked together to get them in pots. We got the Fall wreaths hung and dug out the plastic jack-o-lantern. Mira was amazed when Kenny got it out of the attic and even more thrilled when we plugged it in!
That afternoon, in search of pumpkins to go with our Fall display, we spent a lovely evening at Country Fun Farm. Mira ate nearly a whole pickle by herself, we went for a "hayride" (minus the hay?) out to a real pumpkin patch where we actually picked our own pumpkins right off the vine, then we played in the Corn Bin, rode the "train" together, saw some chickens, and Mira rode a rubber tire horse! They also have a corn maze, but Kenny and I weren't brave enough to do it. I tried to get Mira to get her face painted, but she wanted to do the painting - not get painted!
You'll see by the pictures which part Mira really loved. She keeps asking to go back to the "Dunkin Datch" - I'm sure we'll go back; Kenny & I had lots of fun, too!

Finding the perfect pumpkins.
Corn Bin!!!!!! (genius!)
A quick ride.
Loved the "train" ride (a four-wheeler pulling barrel seats).
Our day's loot - pumpkins (they'll turn completely orange) and mums.
We're going to carve these big pumpkins when it gets cooler and closer to Halloween!!!
Mira loves to wear her gloves.
The finished project - not the best picture, but you get the idea (please, ignore the potting soil that is scattered in front of our steps).
Yay for Fall!!!!!!
