Fall Fun

The last weekend in September we made the trek to our favorite apple-picking spot: Granville Orchard. It's so fun to be outside in the cool fall air and let the girls run loose between rows of trees. We didn't get our very favorite varieties this year, but we got lots of others.





After apple picking, we drove to Utica to the Velvet Ice Cream Factory. The kids played on the playground and we ate a picnic lunch before digging into ice cream. It was pretty chilly outside, so Jolie tried to stay bundled up.


After the ice cream factory, we stopped at another orchard to get a free pumpkin, and bought a few others for the kids to each have their own to decorate. (I didn't get all the pics I wanted--the camera was acting up that day.)

Last week Jolie's preschool had a fall activity for families that we got to go to. We had dinner, went on a hayride (Mierae was grumpy because the driver honked the horn and it scared her), watched apples get pressed into juice, hammered holes into pumpkins, and played in the sand.





We are loving Fall!
