Yummy

Corey was eating an apple and let Carys lick it...she kept going back for more.

Apples, Apples and More Apples

We went apple picking again a couple weeks ago. It was fairly warm and dry and it seemed like a fun way to spend some time outside. And you can't ever have too much homemade applesauce right?!:)

Grandpa, it's good stuff, but it doesn't beat yours!

Apples, Pumpkins, Hay Rides and Corn Mazes

October 11, we headed to Rennie's Orchard with friends. I LOVE this time of year and now I have kids to do all the fun stuff with!:) It turned out to be a VERY cold day and we saw the first snow flurries fly! Despite the cold, we had a blast and I wouldn't mind doing it all over again!:)

Caedmon is the blue you see behind the corn

I followed someone who had a better idea of how to make it out!:)

They cheated in order to make it out of the corn maze:)

Packed a picnic lunch -
I'm pretty sure the temperature dropped even more while we ate!

We went on the hayride (Corey stayed behind with Carys),
but I had given my camera to Corey and forgot to get it back before the ride.:(
So this is not us, but that's what we rode on.
It was a long ride through fields and there was some gorgeous scenery!

They had a nice fire going and boy was it needed!

Worn out!

Homemade Applesauce

Mmmm mmm good! We picked a bushel or so of apples and made applesauce with most of them. I've saved some for apple pie, apple bundt cake, and just for eating.

Caedmon helping - we threw the apple cores out for the deer

Picking Apples

When there was a let up in the rain, we went apple picking with friends. The boys were so glad to be outside and enjoyed eating apples as well as running through the orchard. The apples tasted wonderful! I love this time of year!

Waving at the tractor

Don't you wish you could be carried around in a sling?!
Yeah, I got sick of walking back to my basket with just a few apples...:)

Enjoying some freedom
