Fall With Five

10. 11 . 08
Here are a few pictures from a wonderful orchard we like to visit several times a year. We were here a few weeks ago but didn't take any pictures. This time I brought the camera but they had a sign up that stated that "picking season" was over! Try explaining that to a five year old and a three year old! The children had a good time anyway climbing on all of the hay bales and pumpkins and selecting their own apples and cider from the little store. Bennett was not feeling well and we ended up heading home after a very short visit. Little did we know he would be admitted into the hospital later on this same day.

She's home! My first gift flew in this weekend for her high school homecoming and we were beyond excited to see her! Everyone was recovering and feeling much better and the weather was just gorgeous! So we spent a lot of the weekend outdoors enjoying the fresh air and sunshine! This is the annual pumpkin patch festival here in our town.

After the pumpkin patch festival we went for a drive to a nearby town for another outdoor festival and enjoyed the incredible New England scenery and an afternoon of jumping in the leaves!

A day at our favorite market! Bella Grace insisted on sitting in the box of baby pumpkins! I just love how she holds things in her tiny hands. She is so dainty and delicate!

The kids love to bob for apples every year! I laughed so hard I cried! This was hands down the best part of our weekend. They bobbed for apples, carved a pumpkin and roasted the seeds. I miss my Macey Girl already! She won't be home again until Christmas. So we packed it in this weekend while she was here. I also took the Christmas card photos- which are so hilarious they deserve their own post. Coming soon!
