This post is long overdue, but with the the craziness of life the last 2 weeks, it never got posted! So better late than never!
It's become a yearly tradition to go apple and pumpkin picking each fall. Eric's family is usually here when we do this and this year is no exception. Eric's family arrived on October 4th and we wasted no time in getting to the pumpkin patch! The kids were off school the next day so we all piled into the van and off we went! It was a really warm day for October but a pretty day. Abby was also visiting with us so we had quite the crew!
We rode out to the fields in a covered wagon.

Our first stop was the apple orchard to pick our apples - which were absolutely the biggest apples I have ever seen! They will not even come close to fitting in my apple slicer so we will have to cut them the old fashioned way! I'm seeing a few apple themed desserts in the future! :o)
The next stop was the pumpkin patch! The kids were allowed to pick a pumpkin only as big as they could carry!
After our return trip in the wagon, Aunt Laura bought the kids some soft serve icecream - perfect ending for a very warm fall day!
