Apple Fest Family Time

For as many years as I can remember, it has been an annual tradition of my family to go to the orchard/pumpkin patch in the fall. Scott became a regular when he joined the family, and my mom, dad, Scott and I would make the short drive to a local orchard to participate in Apple Fest. Apple Fest has a craft area, games for kids, hayride to the pumpkin patch, a corn maze, lots of food, and of course lots of apples to buy . We had some special guests join us for Apple fest this year. Scott's parents and sister were here for the weekend, and Dillon and Oscar were spending the day with Grandma and Grandpa while there parents were at the Colts game. We couldn't have asked for better weather, although almost too sunny for little Cara.

After browsing through the crafts areas, we sat down for lunch. Pork burgers and chips were followed by hot apple dumplings with ice cream. The day wouldn't be complete without caramel apples (had to get those to go as we had already eaten so much).

Cara and Oscar were very good at the event. After a short nap Cara was fired up and giving out smiles left and right. Oscar always give out the smiles and didn't let us down! We have a ton more pictures from the day, having minor technical difficulty in getting them onto blogger. Will attempt to put up some more later in the day. Have some very cute ones close ups of Cara and Oscar!
