I LOVE Fall!
 

This is definitely my favorite season...the colors, smells, weather and football of course. 

Our Fall Bucket List this year includes:

Take a fall foliage drive

Pick pumpkins together (check)

Go to a football game

Host a fall dinner party (check)

Make pumpkin bread and share with friends (check)

Enjoy the outdoors (check)

Roast marshmallows

Make apple cider

Celebrate Octoberfest

Go to a costume party

Trying to get our pumpkin display just right.  (Ben picked gonzo in the back.)

 Enjoying the nice fall weather at the driving range.  I actually made contact with the ball too. 

We hope to continue practicing so that maybe one day I can make it on the course. 

...Fall is a time for baking...
