Flashback Friday (Team Wesley’s Version) | Blogtober 2025

Today, we're throwing it back to one of our favorite fall adventures: our family pumpkin patch visits! The whole family had a blast playing games, exploring the farms, and, of course, scouting for the perfect pumpkins. We totally refueled with all the best seasonal treats—hello, apple cider and pumpkin everything! It was a day all about laughter, love, and making timeless memories.

In 2016, we spent a beautiful day at Bi-Water Farm—it is, hands down, my favorite place to visit with the kids! This farm is built for spending an entire day playing, exploring, and enjoying time with the whole family. It's so expansive that I never feel like it's too busy or crowded to truly enjoy the experience. Even my husband and I had a blast playing and chasing after little Zeke and Evie!

Thanks to COVID-19 restrictions, Elora’s first pumpkin patch experience didn’t happen until the ripe age of two. We stayed a little closer to home that year and visited Eckert's (formerly Boyd's) Orchard. It's always busy there, but as long as the kids are happy, we don’t mind a little crowd!

Our big fall plans for this weekend have unfortunately been postponed since poor Elora is down with a virus. However, I'm absolutely loving these cool, crisp autumn days we’re having and am hopeful everyone feels better in time for Halloween next week!

Happy Friday, Reader! I'll be back on Monday to kick off the final week of Blogtober!
