Burts and Hillcrest! FINALLY!

My MOST favorite thing to do in the fall is go up to Burt's pumpkin patch and Hillcrest Orchards. The drive is BEAUTIFUL and the kids LOVE it!
We had our trip on the calendar twice in October and had to reschedule both times. Sad we didn't make it before Halloween.. but turns out they still have pumpkins up there in November AND you don't have to deal with the crowds!
We got kind of a late start but made it up there just in time for a yummy (and fun!) buffet lunch at the Lodge at Amicalola Falls. Unfortunately Lucy had an extreme diaper disaster in the car and I had to change her into the only backup outfit I could find.. a blue fleece jumper! (Thanks Ann!) So she looked like a boy for the rest of the day.. but she was warm!

Brock didn't take this hat off one time the whole day. He loves it. (thanks Lyndsay!)

Not as many pumpkins this late in the season.. but again, soooo nice to miss the crowds. The kids were able to run around and play with out me freaking out about not being able to see them. :)







Hayride with only a few other families equals being able to stretch out!
After Burt's we headed down the road to Hillcrest Orchards
In the 10 minutes it took us to get there it felt like the temperature dropped 20 degrees. According to the dash board it was 43 degrees outside!
Lucy loved snuggling up in the cold!



The boys went into the petting zoo by themselves this year. We watched and laughed from behind the fence as they ran screaming from all the chickens.








It was a really fun day! Jeff said he likes it better in the cold. I'm up in the air about that... :)
