We have had quite a bit of craziness going on this month with moving. I realized a few days ago that it was already mid-October and we had not gone apple or pumpkin picking this season. So it was off to Beak and Skiff for apples and The Hollow for pumpkins today. Riley was excited and so were Jeremy and I!
So, this morning we got up and ate breakfast. Of course Riley chose apple jacks!
The we made our way to Beak and Skiff where Riley showed off her expert apple picking skills. 
Riley LOVED munching on the apples while we picked.
After picking some delicious apples, buying some even more delicious apple pie and cider and looking around the Halloween Hut, we headed off to The Hollow to pick pumpkins.

Of course first we had to go through the corn maze where Riley not only insisted on being the line leader, but she also insisted on Jeremy holding her hand because "you're not wearing rain boots daddy and it's muddy." So cute!!
I'm not sure if it is just because it is late in the season or just a bad season for pumpkins, but the pumpkins in the field were slim pickings! So we chose some already picked pumpkins after visiting the petting zoo!!
Then for the first time, Riley requested to get her face painted. She has never had it painted before and usually says no to getting it done. Today she sat for a pretty flower on her face.
Before leaving The Hollow, Riley asked to jump around on the hay bales. She would climb up and then jump off into the hay. She LOVED it!!
Since apple and pumpkin picking is so incredibly exhausting, we need some fuel so it was off to Moe's for some yummy lunch.
Once we got home it was all about painting pumpkins. Riley insisted on painting all 3 of the small pumpkins...which of course was fine by us!
Babcha, Pop and Uncle Matt came over for dinner and dessert. Then it was bath time. One last show of The Berenstein Bears and off to bed!
What a fun day!! It's been awhile since we have had one of these days and I am so glad that we got to do all of the fun things we did today. I love my little family and days like these!
