our first corn maze ever! do you have autumn traditions? we always say this year let’s do a corn maze and each year we don’t. now that i’ve been once i would love to go to one each year, although next time i want to try a haunted corn maze. (have you visited a haunted one and if so how was it?) the maze was sponsored by denver botanic gardens and as members we had tickets for up to 6 (thanks mom!), we went with our good friends kelli & travis.(who had been to one the previous year that was so long they bailed at the half-way point so we’re happy they risked another one with us). hard to tell which makes the cuter couple, travis & kelly or travis and the husband. (;
i’ve never been a tent camper but being in colorado has inspired me to want to take one (possibly could be the one & only) tent weekend, at a state or national park.. bathrooms people, bathrooms! and you’d think i was the one holding us back but nooooo, i’ve been trying to persuade mr man and turns out he’s not that into it. but, i could see one weekend per fall season with a big park, good hikes, and a roaring campfire at night becoming a tradition. like i said, we’ll see.
last year we went to a pumpkin harvest festival and we’ve already marked that on the calendar for this october. we have to pick a pumpkin and have a carving night, and one of these years i’d love to grow pumpkins. and at the tip top of his to-do list is oktoberfest. any recommendations for around colorado? otherwise, i never got to roast marshmallows this summer so that’s my must do on a cool night before it goes on the we never…. list. and we visited the tiny town of morrison and went to a celtic fest this weekend too so more to come soon!

Great pictures!! Autumn is such a fun season.. carving pumpkins, football, campfires.. I love it all! I’ve never done a corn maze as an adult either but I would not be interested in a haunted one!! I don’t do haunted anything and I hate scary movies!!
oooh… i *love* scary movies!! not gross horror, slasher, blood & guts but good thrillers, yes please! and how could i possibly have forgotten to put football on the list.. oh yeah. probably because of last weekends game. );
Oh and cider donuts have to be one of my favorite things about fall, I forgot to mention that.. can’t forget the cider donuts!!!
My girls are addicted to Scarowinds (theme park)….. the mazes, the costumes, they can’t get enough! The Greenway has a fall festival with corn maze that we are going to check out in October. Love, love love the photos! I just love fall… and fire pits with wine!
