Pumpkin Farm
My friend Nicole and I took Gabe to Didiers Pumpkin Farm in Buffalo Grove and had a BLAST!!
I started out at 6 a.m. 
driving to the Bensenville train station,
for a 730 train. (keep mind of the times) we got on the train, which was wayyy coool for Gabe. He loves big trains.
we got downtown to Union Station at 8:05 a.m. We wandered around the train station, a pack of M&M's. 2 doughnuts 
and a fruit smoothie later, we boarded a Northwestern train at the Ogilve station across the street from Union station at 10:35 a.m for an hour long train ride to Lake Forrest where Nicole met us. We walked up a couple of blocks to where her Fiance works at their family Jewelry store. at 12:30 we were finally on our way to the pumpkin farm.

where we could go pick out our own pumpkins. Gabe found his own Gabriel size PUMPKIN!!! 
Gabe got to go on a jumper too.
We walked through the Farms General store and bought alot of goodies!! 
it was a Great Day. We drove back to the jewelry store to where i was going to catch our train going home. we had some time so I took Gabe across the street to the Best Candy store in the world. Gabe had Ice Cream. (of course) WELLLLLL...............
Nicole and Dimetrios wound up driving us home because we were going to catch a 427 p.m. train in Lake Forrest which would get us downtown at 530. well the other train we were supposed to catch was also at 530! so we would have to wait for the 6:40 train which wouldn't get us back to Bensenville till 7:30!!! NOT HAPPENING. I sooooo appreciated the ride home.

Whooo Hoooo It's Fall!!
Ah yes, fall colors and a starter trike for Gabe. I vendored at a flea market yesterday and I saw this little trike for Gabe and thought what a great way for him to have a bit of fun, now all he wants to do is go ride his bike. 
I also took pics of the turning colors of the trees around here. 
And I got a couple of layouts done too.
Enjoy!!
Enjoy!!And a Happy Birthday to Craig too!!
