Fall in Georgia

I'm using the term "fall" to loosely refer to the final third of the calendar year. Since October, it's really felt like one endless fall with a few cold (and warm!) spots.

Earlier this year, we purchased an annual pass to a nearby-ish resort & gardens and we made good use of it during the not-so-hot months. Our favorite thing to do there is ride bikes.



Three generations on bikes!



Georgia offers endless opportunities for pumpkin patching and we definitely had our share of hay rides, corn mazes, and pumpkin purchasing.


 


Ahh...a Southern autumn...where you can enjoy the fall without fearing the winter.



Halloween was crazy. We live in trick-or-treating central and the running estimate is that our street saw about 2,000 trick-or-treaters this year. We had enough candy because our neighbors started warning us in July. We experienced a similar thing at a nearby area of NY, but attending and hosting such an event are waaaaay different. 

Candy shopping at BJs obviously.


These pictures of Halloween day are pre-craziness because by the time the crowds ramped up my phone was dead and I was handing out candy with both hands. Our neighbors did an amazing job with their decorations and a couple of post-holiday visits to Party City means we'll be in better shape for next year decoration-wise.






We celebrated Small Bear's 2nd Birthday. It was a low-key affair where we ate cake and gave him a T-ball set.




And the bump has continued to grow. This is 26 weeks when I thought I was big vs. 33 weeks where I'm really big.

 

Aaaaand...#youshouldseemenow!

A hidden cost of home ownership is holiday decor! I took this picture on luminary night which happened to fall right after a rare Georgia snowstorm. We made a rookie mistake and got our icicle lights in "cool white" instead of "warm white." One day when they burn out we'll correct that!
