Since my husband and I were first married {four years ago this Thursday} we have taken an annual trip to our local nursery to enjoy their Pumpkin Patch and fall festivities.

Each year Sam Bridge decks out the rolling hills of their property in a different theme- this year, Alice in Wonderland- and invites families to join in some autumnal fun. Hay rides, pumpkin painting, scarecrow making and of course, pumpkin picking make for the perfect October afternoon. MM- all dressed up in the Cinderella gown she refuses to take off these days- had a ball picking her favorite pumpkins and riding the tractor filled with hay. And mom took full advantage of the plentiful photo ops of our kiddo in a vintage radio flyer in the patch.

Cap the afternoon off with a seasonal pumpkin ale and you've got yourself one perfect fall day.
