Fun, Fall, Favorites

One of my favorite things in life is a day that unfolds, without plan, to be full of spontaneous fun.

So, yesterday, when I found myself with three of my favorite people, taking in a fall day in all of its splendor, I found myself pretty happy.

My day was originally slated to be spent with these two monkeys, 

but when we realized that there was a) a fall festival going on and b) our friend Katy was house-sitting near it,

we picked her up and said--let's go!

We poked around all the festival had to offer us, got some lunch, played with some bees,

bought a ton of apples, and went home to bake.

BUT, not before we checked out the amazing tree house at Katy's temporary home:

 We decided it was amazing,

 and had ourselves the best time

in such a sturdy tree,

 with such a cool trap door.

Now, I would like to take a moment to say that one of my NOT favorite things is when my pictures are inexplicably erased, and cannot be produced for documentation--but picture the cutest dog running around with a stick in his mouth, 

playing like a little maniac

with this cutest girl,

picture our favorite Katy Stu visiting us once we returned back home, cutting up a million apples with us, 

partaking in a spontaneous nail salon session with two of the best nail salon girls I know.

Picture us all cozied up in the warmth of the house as the fall day turned to cold and dreary, just hanging out. 

In essence, picture me, standing at the stove, my heart rejoicing in my favorites, together, on a fall afternoon of spontaneous leisurely laughterful fun.

And then, picture this Apple Pandowdy

[Apple Panyummy] turning our day into over. the. top.

The best kind of day: 

unfolding, fun, in the fall, with favorites.
