Annual Trip to Apple Fest

Cara playing in the bouncer, which she absolutely LOVED! Oscar was going to go too but decided he was too tired!

Now this is fall!!!
We spent a beautiful Saturday afternoon at Apple Fest at a local orchard. Grandma and Grandpa F, Michael, Lisa, Dillon, and Oscar shared in the fun. Michael and Dillon braved the corn maze, they said there were clues to help which way to turn, and the clues were sports trivia, which just happens to be Mike's specialty. We enjoyed a tasty lunch, a trip through the barn to buy apples to take home, and time in the bounce castle, all before hopping on the hayride to pick out our pumpkin. Oscar was pretty tired and didn't feel well so he decided not to go on the hayride with us. Don't worry, he didn't miss out on a pumpkin, Grandpa picked one for him.
Our afternoon concluded with a tasty warm apple dumpling with ice cream! We wore Cara out and she fell asleep on the way home and then slept 2 more hours once we were home!
Now we wait for Daddy to make us an apple pie!!

Looks like the weather was perfect! A lot of fun things to do and the best, we bet was picking out your pumpkins.
Think next year we will have to join in on the day. A ride in a wagon sounds like fun.
Hugs & kissess,
Grandma & Grandpa A
