Fall Fun in Ottawa

October 3, 2019

There is something to be said about the beautiful transition of fall in Ottawa. Every year from mid-to-late August I get the itch for all things fall. I’m such a creature of change and as much as I love the summer, by the end of it I’ve had enough of summer dresses and hot days. Call me crazy, I know!

This spring, I took up running (among other forms of exercise) and now I realize that running in the fall is really the most pleasant time of year to run outside. Especially on those early September days where it’s crisp for your morning run but by noon it’s still warm with summer not quite ready to leave yet. We were able to squeeze in some patio lunches in September knowing that those were probably our last for a while.

Kicking off Fall Fun at Miller’s Farm & Market

One of my favourite things about fall is… of course, a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks (half sweet) as a special treat on the weekend. And what’s fall without strolling through apple orchards and pumpkin patches with a pumpkin spice latte in hand!

This year we tried a new pumpkin patch, which I’m certain is not new to several Ottawa residents, Miller’s Farm & Market located in the little town of Manotick. I’m surprised it took me this long to check them out but we will go again now for sure. They had tons of pre-picked pumpkins in the front field for convenience but for a small fee of $2 per person you can ride the tractor down to the pumpkin patch.  Of course, the boys wanted to ride the tractor, so we hopped on to pick our perfect pumpkins. Jax wanted a white one because he wants to carve Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Hudson had his eye on a traditional orange one.

Leaving with all our goodies from Miller’s Farm & Market

Miller’s Farm had so many cute things to do including fun play structures and an Instagram-worthy pumpkin house for posing in. They have the most amazing selection of fall mums … I really wish I hadn’t already bought my arrangements but now I know where I’m going for next year! You can also have loads of fun just watching the bunnies and chickens around the grounds. We left with delicious goodies including cherry pies, apples and gourds on top of our perfect pumpkins.

Next up, apple picking fun at Mountain Orchards!

Next up was our annual apple picking tradition at the one and only Mountain Orchards! This is the third year in a row where we get together with the same group of friends and their kids. The grounds are beautiful and there is so much to do for the adults and kids! The kids absolutely love the hay barn which is literally bails upon bails of hay. They jump, climb and pretty much get hay in almost every crevice of their body. All part of the fun! They also have a corn maze, forest trails and wagon rides to the apple orchards! You must end your visit with their famous donuts baked fresh by the minute right on site.

He won’t dare eat one (god forbid), but he sure loves picking them!

Next on the list, we plan to visit Proulx Farm for their Pumpkinfest, Pumpkin Inferno, and of course Saunder’s Farm for daytime haunting season.

What activities are you excited for this fall? And is it too soon to be thinking about Christmas?

Surprisingly, we had not been to @millersfarmmarket before this past weekend and boy have we been missing out! Such a fun time taking the wagon to pick out our pumpkins in the patch!  So many goodies to buy in their store too. We ended up with pies and treats as well as our pumpkins. The boys had a blast. We can’t wait til next weekend to get our Fall on again!

Instagram post 2135840827502994268_8305490817 Today mark’s Jax’s 9th day of school. He’s coming around quicker than I thought! Still very quiet but he’s becoming more comfortable with each day and is making buddies. It helps that his bff (shown here) is in Grade 1 at his school and they get to see each other every day after school when I pick him up for shenanigans like tree climbing and wrestling (yup...wrestling) at the school park. Love this picture that her mom and my good friend captured of the two of them the other day! ❤️

Instagram post 2125555965260792608_8305490817 And just like that, the first day of Junior kindergarten has arrived! Jax did so well! No tears and just excitement. I did ok and managed to hide the tears until it was time to walk away. So proud of my big boy. I’m so excited to pick him up and hear all about his first day!

How did everyone else’s first day go?!
