When Scott and I first had Cohan, we promised each other that we would always take time away and do things without our kids. Even if it is just a dinner, working in the yard or a night away we have kept our promise. We love Cohan, but it is so good for us to have time away!!

This last weekend, we headed to Herman, Missouri for Octoberfest with my dad and step-mom for an awesome weekend away. I never knew Missouri had such great wineries. Octoberfest did not disappoint. We toured several wineries and microbreweries. Here are a few of our favorites.

The view at Oak Glenn was amazing. The trees were starting to turn and fall was in the air. Not to mention the AMAZING people watching. My stepmom, Chris, packed a picnic basket full of cheese, grapes, bread, apples, meats and crackers. It was an awesome day.

When we headed in town, there were great German polka dancers, kettle corn and people sitting enjoying the weather!

People sitting on the hills.
After a great day, we headed back to my dad's camper (more like a hotel), sat around the campfire and relaxed. On Sunday, we woke up, made breakfast and headed to Stone Hill winery.

While we were gone, Cohan went to stay with Nanny and Papa H. On Saturday, Cohan went with Nanny, Papa H, his cousins and aunts and uncles to a pumpkin patch. They all sent me pictures to show me how much fun he was having!!

They had told us how awesome this place was last year, and we were planning on taking Cohan this coming weekend to get our pumpkins for our house. Cohan will love going there two weekends in a row! More pictures to come after this weekend. We will take him to the Pumpkin Patch in the morning and then on Saturday afternoon are heading to a friend's farm for wiener roasts, tractor hayrides, smores and more!

I LOVE FALL!!!
