Fall Walk...A Millsy Tradition

It is that time of year again. Yeah!

Fall Walk!

Aaron put on a sweater, beanie & jeans this morning & literally danced in excitement (despite the 80+ degree weather outside). It is fall, and we are so happy, we love this time of year.

The only thing we do not like about fall is that we do not get to see the colors change & the beauty here in California like you do elsewhere. However, we love: pumpkins, those leaves that do change colors here, wearing cozy sweaters, drinking apple cider, Thanksgiving, basically all that fall represents. A few years ago, we started a tradition with our friends called Fall Walk. We usually go to Starbucks, get some hot apple cider & then go for a walk in a local pumpkin patch. Well, this year our pumpkin patch moved, so we had to find a better location; and we did!

Enjoying the Patch with Mr. Scarecrow

Last week, together with our dear friends, Brian, Tay & Logan, we traveled down to Irvine & went to Tanaka Farms. There, we rode a wagon through a giant pumpkin patch, navigated our way through a corn maze, picked some vegetables right out of the ground & even saw a pumpkin get launched through the air by some sort of cannon. We missed out on the apple cider, but it is still early in the season & we are excited about having the opportunity to do Fall Walk again with our brother & sister-in-law, Megan & Jason, & their baby Christian who will be here in Orange County soon!

Riley loved standing in the wagon & watching the pumpkins go by.

We made it to the center of the corn maze!

The carrots are harder to pull than you may think.

I love that we have started a new tradition with our family & I look forward to many years of fun Fall Walks.

Happy Fall Everyone!
