I love the fall! Everything about it, minus the fact that I turn a year older during the season! However the pumpkins, apples, fall veggies, leaves, cool air, football - I could just keep on going - take the pain away of another wrinkle and gray hair. So it is especially nice that our new surroundings love to celebrate fall too!
There are signs everywhere for fall festivals. You simply cannot drive down the road without seeing one for each township or park, not to mention the surplus of farms up here that have things going on all season long. So why not start the season with a visit to pick apples and pumpkins, plus a little festival action - which is exactly what we did this past weekend!

Sunday was just glorious up here and we opted to head outdoors for around 2 hours of hiking in Valley Forge, lunch, then onto a festival at our favorite park - Okehocking Preserve. All we had to do was mention face painting, ice cream, and a hay ride and our girls were on board! It is such a beautiful place and so full of wildlife - ending up being quite an educational experience for the girls as they learned a lot about the wildlife in the area from the park volunteers. Throw in a little live music and you have a cute little afternoon!

Hope y'all are enjoying the cooler temps and the fun of the fall season!
