We spent the morning driving around the small towns in our area. The country scenery was breathtaking and starting to show the first signs of Fall. The leaves are starting to change color and have started falling from the trees. The kids and I just love seeing the farms, silos, barns, tractors, and animals. It's hard to believe these little towns and farms are only about a 20 minute drive from where we live.
Each year, small towns in Kentucky participate in something called the Kentucky Bale Trail, so we were on the lookout for decorated hay bales. The kids enjoyed pointing them out as were were driving. We stopped to check a few of them out. The bales were super cool and I was impressed with the creativity.
Of course, Amelia and I thought HAY-lo Kitty was the best one. Alex liked the HAY-ngry Bird the best. Once again, Andrew slept though the whole adventure!
After our country drive, we went to the park for a picnic lunch, walk, and playtime. It was a good day.
Alex was terrified of this 20 foot tall farmer hay bale. He ran to Jimmy and stayed in his arms until it was out of sight. Poor guy!

We can't wait to come back when the leaves change.
The kids gathered dozens of crab apples from the park and threw them off the bridge.
