Falling For The Season #SafeConBritaxFallFun

I love when the weather changes from the heat that you cannot stand to the wonderful brisk wind in your face.  I love to see the leaves turn and fall.  Though I have never been able to play in the leaves like I have seen on TV, I have always associated that with Fall.  And is still on my list of things to do in the Fall, so if you see me in your front lawn, rolling around in your leaves, don't call the police.

 #1-Roll around, toss'em up, and play with Fall leaves

Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall....

Right when Summer is ending, you see little signs of Fall everywhere you go.  One sign of Fall is always pumpkins, pumpkins, and more pumpkins.  I like taking the kids to pumpkin patches.  If you have never been to a pumpkin patch, you should add this to your list.  There are pumpkin patches everywhere.

#2-Pumpkin Patch

And after you have hit the pumpkin patch after picking just the right one....it is time to decorate it.  Paint it, carve it, or whatever you want...this is a fun activity that even the littlest of your little ones can do.  Toddler Activity 101 can include little pumpkins which they can pick out themselves.  Then decorate with their fingers or paint brushes with adult supervision.  This activity helps with motor skills, learning colors, textures, and family fun all in one.

#3-Decorate Pumpkin

Right when October hits, scary movies start to play over and over.  A scene that scares me is when the characters get lost in the cornfield and the scary attacker is running after them with some kind of weapon.  I always wondered if I could find my way out.  Challenge accepted, and guess what, bombed.  We got lost in the corn maze for 3 hours, but never found the exit.  We evenly went the exact same way we came in, but we had so much fun.  The only person who conquered his way out was my teen.

#4 Corn Maze

Now that you stepped into the cornfield what do you see....tractors.  Have you ever taken a ride on a tractor?  I never had.  I did not grow up on a farm.  The farm we actually were at this weekend had a tractor pulling little buggies made for 2 to ride in.  It was so cute, and fun for my toddler.

#5-Ride a Tractor

Have you ever been to a Fall Festival?  You can find all of these activities and more at your nearest Fall Festival.  Churches, neighborhoods, schools, and even the Zoo get in on all the fun.  You do not have to go to the Zoo to check out the animals.  Some Fall Festivals include traveling petting zoos for the kiddos to enjoy.

#6-Attend a Fall Festival

The crisp chill that a windy day can bring is just a reminder of the wonderful season we are in.  I love to wear scarfs, hats, and bring on the boots.  Take a break from it all this Fall.  As the leaves turn and fall, take your children for walk outside instead of in the mall.  With all these fun activities I am sure your family will have a ball!

Have you fallen for Fall?  What activities do you like to do in the Fall?  Am I missing something on my list?

Sunday Funday at Dewberry Farm

Thanks to Dewberry Farm for inviting us to visit them in Brookshire, Texas this weekend.  We had a fun-filled Sunday with our kids.  Who knew that this place existed in our neck of the woods?  I did not.  I have been looking for a place to take  my kids to have some Fall fun and come to find out there was a place so close to home.  Dewberry Farm opens at noon on Sunday and closes at Dusk.  We took the small drive.

GENERAL ADMISSION includes:
Wagon Ride to Pumpkin Patch, 8-acre Corn Maze, Cow Train Ride, Fort DewHickey, Hay Mountain, Giant Roller Slide, Culvert Alley, Black Momba, Singing Chickens, Barnyard Area, Rubber Duck Races, Pig Races, game area at Lake HorseShoo in WindMill Park, Farmer Flinger, Little Farmersville, Corn Box, Puzzle Maze, Hi-Strikers, Tether Ball, SpringTown, and the Armadillo ChooChoo (wooden play train).

There is fun for all ages from small to big.  But if you are worried about the littles, don't.  All littles get in free.  And there are activities for them to do; pony rides, jumping pillows, carousel, slide mountain, pumpkin hollar, train ride, and much, much more.  

And there is a special spot if you have an infant- need to nurse, change a diaper, cool off, or whatever you little may need in THE NEST located close to the front and right near the restrooms and is air conditioned.

Plan your day accordingly.  We attempted the corn maze, got lost in the maze, determined to find the real exit, and then we lost track of time.  My teen is the only one who conquered the entire maze.  Then we headed to the pumpkin patch.  The kiddos had lots of fun running around picking pumpkins, and seeing the different ones.  There were green, red, orange, and some white looking ones.  Some that looked scary too.

The pumpkin patch field is the perfect place to have to take pictures with the kids.  All the parents were having little mini photo sessions with their kids.  Some kids like mine did not want to cooperate and did their own thing.  We had a lot of fun but did not get to do it all so we will be back for more fun on the farm.

By the way, this weekend and next weekend happen to be the busiest weekends of the season.  Dewberry Farm is open in October and November on the weekends.

Bring sunscreen or you will get burned.  It cooled off a light was the sun started going down so grab a light sweater.  We got a little muddy in the corn maze but the kids did not mind at all.  Come early and stay late to enjoy the entire farm.

THOR: THE DARK WORLD releases in theaters on November 8, 2013!

The Hundred-Foot Journey Coming August 2014

***Disclosure-No compensation was received.  Informational post only.

Production has begun on the feature film adaptation of DreamWorks Pictures’ THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY, starring Academy Award^®-Winner Helen Mirren, based on the best-selling novel! Lasse Hallström is directing with Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey (pictured below with star Helen Mirren) and Juliet Blake producing.

In “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France. Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant – the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, the Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren), gets wind of it. Her icy protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own escalate to all out war between the two establishments – until Hassan’s passion for French haute cuisine and for Mme. Mallory’s enchanting sous chef, Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon), combine with his mysteriously delicious talent to weave magic between their two cultures and imbue Saint-Antonin with the flavors of life that even Mme. Mallory cannot ignore. At first Mme. Mallory's culinary rival, she eventually recognizes Hassan's gift as a chef and takes him under her wing.

 The movie opens in theatres on August 8th, 2014!
