Spicers Orchard

Liam and I went with my brother Rick and his wife AnnaMaria to Spicers Orchard in Fenton, Michigan.  Spicers is the same farm where we pick strawberries and blueberries.  They grow almost anything you can think of, such as peaches, apples, pumpkins, and raspberries.  They offer hay (straw) rides.  They also have a little store where you can buy their produce already picked.  They have fresh baked goods, such as doughnuts, and have a winery with free wine tasting.  On this trip we rode the hay wagon and visited the children's section of the farm, which has animals that you can feed and pet, and a play area.  Liam was very focused during the hayride and seemed to take everything in.  There was a great deal to look at.  Liam loved the John Deere tractor in the children's farm.  It was a very fun trip and one we will probably take every fall.

Liam had so much fun on the John Deere tractor!

How tall is Liam this fall?  This may have to be a tradition.

Pumpkin Patch

Today we took a trip to the pumpkin patch.  Liam loved looking at all the different colors of pumpkins and gourds.  He also loved feeling all their textures.  We found a small pumpkin that was perfect for him.  Once he had it he didn't want to let it go.  It was so fun to watch him observe everything and take it all in.  He focuses so hard on things.  It makes me wonder what he is thinking.  He also really loved feeling the grass between his toes.  I will turn his pumpkin into baby food and roast the seeds for myself.  Eating his pumpkin will probably be his favorite part - he loves pumpkin.  It was a beautiful autumn day and a memory I will cherish.
