After a particularly horrendous temper tantrum in the Egg Harbor Cafe after our shoot, we debated just calling it a wash and heading home…but I had my heart set on visiting a pumpkin patch/apple orchard as a family, so we rolled the dice, and luckily, it did not disappoint. Didier Farms, in Lincolnshire, is only a short drive from Lake Forest and is such a great destination for little ones!! They have everything there, including a “menagerie” of exotic animals, a pumpkin bouncey house, a spooky Halloween shop, and a petting zoo.Our first stop was the petting zoo. Charlie LOVED it, and her attitude changed immediately when she and Daddy got down and dirty with the goats and chickens. You’ll notice she’s wearing her new pumpkin shirt that I found on Etsy. Our first seasonal outfit!! Love it!!
