Apple Picking

It is like a switch flipped around here, and all of a sudden it is fall. The nights and mornings are chilly, pumpkins and mums are displayed at all the stores, and the leaves on the trees are just barely showing a hint of color. As much as we've enjoyed our summer, I say bring on fall!!!

We had the nicest Labor Day weekend, complete with finishing house projects, back-to-school shopping, playing in the yard, and lots of time with great friends. I told Steve last night I think this may be the best 3-day weekend I can remember.

Yesterday we celebrated out extra day together and the beginning of fall with a trip to a local apple orchard. It was a perfect fall morning! The kids had a blast feeding goats, eating cider doughnuts (one of the great culinary pleasures of the season), taking a hayride, and of course picking apples.

Happy fall, everyone! Hope your long weekend was as nice as our was!
