One of our favorite things to do this time of year, is to visit Mother Nature's Farm. This was our 2nd year going.There is lots of fun stuff for the kids to do. We had a great time, and this is becoming our favorite Fall tradition!

Ashley your blog is so cute. I am so sorry that I didnt see your invite to Ellas B-Day party. We are sorry that we missed it. I heard that it turned out great and that Ella had a blast. You will have to tell me where this mother natures place is at, I think Haylee would have a lot of fun.
Just getting caught up on everyone's blog--yours is so cute and you are creating such fun and memorable traditions. Your kids are lucky to have such wonderful parents and grandparents!
