I’m months behind here, but I had this draft from back in October and decided to write out the memory even though it’s out dated. My family has an annual tradition of visiting an orchard when Fall hits. We’ve gone to the same place for years, but it has gotten really popular and crowded, so we decided to try somewhere new.
We traditionally take a photo in front of a giant apple at the usual orchard. Observe:
So this year, we didn’t have a giant apple, which is weird. I mean what orchard doesn’t offer a giant apple for family photo opps? But we improvised and took a picture in front of a giant tree instead.
We go around the same time every year, but notice how last year we’re all in coats and hats, and this year it was downright warm! I’m not sure we’ll be going back to this place again though. They were crazy and charged for EVERYTHING! Oh you want to sit on that side of the fence to eat your donuts? It’s the only place we put any picnic tables, but we’re going to charge you $5 just to cross the threshold. You need extra paper cups for your cider? There’s a charge for that.
We still had a good time though. Mike played a little gourd…
And the babes loved all the pumpkins.
All in all, good time. I’m still hanging on to Fall – I’m not really ready for winter yet. NOOO SNOOOW!

You were right around the corner from my house and didn’t even visit me????
I recognize that pumpkin patch. Last year we walked there with the kids. It’s Brayden’s most favorite place to go, EVER!
Amber I had no idea you lived so close! Seriously, I have no idea how we got to that place, it could have been in Nebraska for all I knew. Had I known it was so close, I would have at least called and told you to bring to the kids over!
