images from my favorite season

sometimes we try to cram a lot of fun into our weeks. starting with the bean's field trip to the always nostalgic (for me) clark's elioak farm, for her first field trip, we kicked off our harvest season.



then we spent the weekend at baugher's, getting our pumpkins and generally getting into the autumnal spirit...


and topped the weekend off with the annual lantern parade, where rick and i decided we were definitely building our own lantern next year.


i was feeling inspired by tamara's post last week on her block party press blog which featured an amazing image of her son enjoying all that fall had to offer. with that in mind, i squashed all terrified-mom instincts and let the bean have at this bail of hay.

i was well rewarded.
