Our weekend getaway

This past weekend we headed south for a few days to visit with my family.
It has been soo much fun living close to them.
For the past 6 years, I've been the girl who got to see her family 1-2 times a year,
now it's more like 1-2 a month-YAY!!
I LOVE IT!
Although I miss our family in Idaho dearly, it has been such a blessing to finally have my little boy and hubby get to know my side of the family a little more!
 
The weekend started off with a few rain showers...
which of course Bryson couldn't resist playing in!
 
 
Then some pumpkin patch pickin was in order,
so we headed out on the most beautiful fall day and picked our favorites!  
 
 
 
It was so fun to see how much our little B enjoyed the tractor ride and running around the pumpkin patch!
After our pickin' we headed inside this quaint little market nearby and picked up some freshly made apple cider donuts, mega apples (perfect for carmel apples), fried dough smothered in powdered sugar & cinnamon and hot, delicious apple fritters...mmmm :)
 
Sunday brought beautiful colors, majestic sunshine and the perfect opportunity to capture this incredible autumn season,
so we headed out.
 
While Ben ran around with Bry,
I walked around my parents yard and tried to capture how truly marvelous the day was.
I am definitely no photographer, but hopefully years from now I will atleast be able to remember how magical this fall day was!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After packing up the car and getting ready to leave
I walked outside to find this little boy wearing these huge boots.
We all laughed as we enjoyed watching him attempt to walk, he was so determined to make it work!
Although he did a good job trying, those boots were just 10 sizes too big and it was a very good thing he was wearing his bike helmet!
 
 
Thanks Mom and Dad for such a fabulous weekend!!

  1. Lyss oh I loved everything about this post! I know living close to the Hessings was wonderful (cheers to having wonderful in-laws!) but I'm so glad you live close to your family now! :)

    Pumpkin picking, walking in the rain, and soaking up wonderful autumn around your parents' gorgeous home made me so happy! Love and miss you girl. :)

    PS - Bryson is growing up too fast. Wish there was a slow-motion button for our boys. ;)
