It's Fall

Anna has been wanting to go apple picking since spring. We kept telling her that she had to wait until fall when the apples would be ready. When the official day of fall hit in September it was a bit warm here and of course, the leaves hadn't really started changing color yet. Now it's cool and the leaves are red, orange, and yellow. On Friday as we were driving over to have dinner with friends, Matt commented that the trees were sure starting to change color. Anna heard that and got all excited! "It's fall! Now can we go apple picking?" We assured her that we would go the next day.


Since there wasn't any rain on Saturday morning (what a change from the rest of the week) we headed over to Robinette's for some apple activities. Anna was very proud of the apples she helped pick!


A bag full of apples and plans to make apple pie, apple crip, and apple bread applesauce. We may have to make another trip out here in a few weeks!

We went on a hay ride after picking apples. Anna didn't want to get too close to the big horses, but enjoyed the ride around the orchard. And what's a trip to the apple orchard without some cider and donuts!
