After many weeks of anticipation, fall has finally arrived! It still feels like summer most days here in CA, but at least it's starting to cool down at night! I love, love, love the fall and all the fun traditions it brings. Even with the arrival of little Lucy, we're trying to do as much as we can with the older kids and make fall fun.
Fall Art
We've been doing a lot of fall art projects, paint, glitter, and all.

Fall at the farm
I really, really wanted to go apple picking this September, especially after seeing all my East Coast friends on instagram. Sadly, apples had apparently a bad year here in California and by September I couldn't find a place still open for picking. Instead, we opted to go to a farm in Fremont and pretend like we lived in a place with real seasons (and water).
Pumpkin Patch
Of course, we gotta go to the pumpkin patch. It's required to have pictures of babies in pumpkins, right? After much google searching, I found this place out in Clayton that looked perfect for toddlers, and it turned out awesome. Except the taking pictures part; my children were extremely uncooperative for Dad's photo shoot plans.

Jude really liked putting his head in all the cutouts
there were a lot of fun hay tunnels for the kids to run through.
Jude could have done this all day
giant pool of beans
making a bean angel
lots of jumping
genius yet super simple activity: ball tunnel
waiting to see what comes out
duck racing!
weird bouncy horse things
and then time to pick a pumpkin!
Jude didn't like being teased by Dad who told him to pick up the giant pumpkin
Ellie wasn't into the whole picture thing
