Lots of Orange this Fall

Looking through my recent photos, you would see a lot of orange....

At the end of September, we had our National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, which our family spent at Manning Park.

My kids all wore their orange shirts, a symbol that Every Child Matters. 

Jason took us to a spot where we could see lots of birds and ground squirrels, some even tame enough to eat off of Janae's hand or crawl onto Alaina's lap.

We also hiked part of the Paintbrush trail, which was beautiful with the fall colors.

Then, this past week, we went to get some pumpkins at our local pumpkin patch!

We had a rare afternoon where everyone was free, so I took the kids to the farm where we used to go when they were little. I hadn't been since 2019, so I loved seeing all the old familiar (but cheesy) photo spots. 

Janae and Eric were "caught having a good time,"

Janae and Alaina got into character as Little Miss Muffet and a spider,

I found these four sweet little pumpkins on a wagon,

and the three youngest posed as a goat, pig and sheep on a tractor ride :)

The pumpkins were amazing this year--and with our dry fall, there wasn't even any mud!

We know the rainy weather is coming, but we've definitely enjoyed our beautiful, sunny fall.
