Mapleside Farms

I love autumn.  

The smells.  

The chill in the air.  

The colors.  Oh how I missed the radiant leaf colors while we lived in Houston.  

And for our family, welcoming Fall means welcoming traditions.  

Being back in Ohio meant a visit to Mapleside Farms was in order.  

The last time we were there Gabe looked like this: 

Three years later, my how he's grown! 

Traditions started with pictures with pumpkins...

 and continued with more adventurous activities.

Racing down the biggest slide in Ohio was our first stop.

  

 The winners!

Everyone loved the ride through the apple orchards on the cow train.  

Seriously a cow train?  It couldn't get any cuter! 

Gabe and I bounced on a huge "pillow" before he finished the afternoon going down big tunnel slides.  

I love fall.  And family traditions.  

While the earth remains, seed-time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease" - Genesis 8:22
