Minnesota Arboretum

While the other Mocha Mamas were having playgroup yesterday, Josie and I had our own play date at the Minnesota Arboretum!

My grandma, Josie's Great Gramma Jackie, was able to come spend the day with us too!

Minnesota is in the full swing of apple picking season so we went to the apple orchard to pick up a couple bags of fresh apples before going to the Fall Unplugged exhibit.

I don't think I've ever seen as many gourds and pumpkins as I have in the past three days! The things are everywhere!
And they are huge!

Josie was so smiley and excited. Which was a huge surprise for me since we are on day four of no napping.

I think she might just be delirious from sleep deprivation and brain freeze.

Fall Unplugged was gorgeous.

Scarecrows all around.

Gardens everywhere you looked (even though blooming season is way over here, it was still so pretty!)

My mom stepped right in the pond.
She's good like that.

And the leaves.
Oh the leaves!

Golden, red, bright, beautiful.

God is in every season.
Even the cold ones!

When we got too cold, we headed in to see more pumpkins.

Minnesotans love them some pumpkins.

We missed playgroup, but ended up having a pretty fun day here in Minnesota!
