Welcome Fall!

Well, with it being Labor Day, what a better time to kick off the fall bucket list season? I have far higher hopes for the fall season for a couple of reasons.  1) Matt’s going to be done with his job at the zoo in about a month, so that will help give me more time/flexibility on the weekends with Luke.  2) We love the fall and it’s vey easy to convince the the two of us to get out of the house in order to go do something in the pleasant fall weather.  3) Luke is (as always) getting older, so it’s more fun to do these things with him. 

Here’s the fall list: 

  1. Go apple picking
  2. Pick out a pumpkin
  3. Carve a pumpkin with Luke
