Family traditions....Very important in my opinion....One of my many fond memories of growing up is our annual trip to the Apple Orchard for apple picking, always around Mom's Birthday. It had been years, too long, since we had experienced this joy. We made a return this weekend and it was very enjoyable!!
We hunted for the "perfect plump pumpkin" There is something about pumpkins, "the perfect pumpkin" is so different in everyones' point of view. The pumpkin that was perfect for us this year was the one that Tess described as "This is the one Ella and I like", that was it. Of course this was after many had been picked up and dropped, we had to discuss pumpkin kindness!
Then, as our search continued for "Festive Fall Fun"...& "Family Time" as Kevin calls it, .... We found that the orchard was a "Bit" muddy. The guys had a "Fun" time pushing out... Dad's Car.....
Kevin & Lori's Van....
Times like this are why we have All Wheel Drive....
We picked many apples and I am looking for recipes....Apple Butter, Apple Crisp, Apple Sauce... (Do I sound like Bubba Gump?) We all enjoyed the Apple Pickin' and the dinner out to eat! A fun family time! I am hopeful that we can have traditions like this carry on as the girls grow!

The pumpkin patch and apple orchard . . . there is no better autumn tradition. I love Ella's sweet sweater.
I am hearing, "turn the wheels toward the pond and gun it."
