Pumpkin Time!

Fall has really set in here in the Poole House. Thankful we have had such great weather! 

We have been pumpkin patching like crazy around here recently. Last Friday, we took our annual trip to Hall Family Farm. We love this place! There are TONS of activities for the kids. Playgrounds, a fire truck, hay ride, corn maze, and of course pumpkins! We come to this farm every year for strawberry and pumpkin picking.

(ignore Landin's face, I just love how hard Clara Jane is working to carry her pumpkin) 

Some of our friends came too! Landin's favorite part of the whole trip is the hayride. It was a really fun morning. 

This was the first year that we actually carved a pumpkin. Brian took this job very, very seriously. It was pretty entertaining. Landin and Clara Jane had zero interest in feeling the pumpkin guts, but they did enjoy watching us dig it out. ;) 

Yesterday Elevation had their annual Fall party called Festi^us! We were out at Aw Shucks Farm in Monroe. We had so much fun. There was face painting, pumpkin painting, scavenger hunts,  a petting zoo, paddle boating, and A TON of food. Pastor Steven and Holly really know how to bless their staff. This is one of my most favorite parties of the year. Love celebrating together. Getting together with these people ends up being like a family reunion. A lot of us have served together for many years now and have grown families together. Words cannot explain how grateful I am to be a part of this staff family. It's really the best.
