It's Autumntime

Yesterday was fabulous! Ahenobarbus was able to slip away from school/work a few hours early and we all drove to a nearby farm for the afternoon. It was beautiful weather and we had a great time!
First, we rode a tractor to a section of orchard to pick our own apples. We picked Fuji and a few Fuji/Yellow Delicious mix. They tasted soo good fresh off of the trees.






When we had picked our fill of apples, we stopped by the pumpkin patch to pick some pumpkins to carve. There were so many pumpkins to choose from!

After our apples and pumpkins were safely in the trunk, we stayed for dinner at the farm restaurant - Beemer got to try fresh apple butter and we ended the evening with an icecream treat! It was so nice to have a few extra hours of family time this week. I love the fall!

That sounds like so much fun. It makes me miss Cache Valley and a real pumpkin patch. We bought ours at a grocery store. It's just not the same!

It was a fun little get-away. Fiji would be fun, too. I wonder if they grow Fuji apples in Fiji. Hm...

I did attempt to go last year...it was pouring rain by the time we got there...Louis was all of six months. I decided to bag it and drive back home.

Sounds like such a perfect day! And you can't beat the fall weather here!
