A Perfect Fall Weekend

The weather this weekend was gorgeous--warm and sunny, with the leaves starting to change colors. It was perfect for being outside, which is just what we did. Saturday we met up with my college roommate, Heather, and her family. The last time I saw Heather she had just had her first son, Shad, and he just started school this year. Needless-to-say, it's been awhile! And we just recently found out we only live an hour apart. Who knew?? We met up and went to an apple orchard where there were pony rides, hay rides, free apple cider, amazing homemade donuts, and lots of fun things to do. Unfortunately, because the weather was so warm, there were also a ton of bees!! We were lucky to get away with only one sting, but we left early and I didn't get any pictures from there. We found a park to sit and chat at and the kids were able to play. It just so happened that a hot air balloon took off from the ball field we were next to! It was really cool to see them blow it up and then take off! I did get some pictures of that. Enjoy!

The sun was starting to set, which made for even prettier pictures!
I didn't realize how much work goes into getting a hot air balloon off the ground!
Up, up, and away!
