Fall Farewell......our Apple Picking Adventure

Just a few weeks ago, S and I finally tackled the outstanding item on our fall to do list--apple picking. By the time we went, there weren't a whole lot of apples left (and the ones that were still on the trees were either too high or rotten), but did we get just enough for some tasty snacks.

S posting with his apple picker:


How pretty is this farm?


Me posing on a wooden cow. (btw, I have a thing for cow statutes. You find one, I'll pose with it!)


We headed straight to the Granny Smiths--while I know the other ones have their uses, I'm an apple loyalist. It's Granny all the way.


Our modest harvest:



After the apples, we stopped by a farm so that S could see a pig (don't ask). I took the opportunity to take some pumpkin shots:




Ahem. I believe the belly is bigger than the giant pumpkin. Lately, I've been getting a lot of "when are you due?" and "oh wow, you have some time to go!"s. I blame the small torso.

At the end of the day, we turned some apples from our haul and caramel sheets into these yummies:

It was a lovely fall day:) Now I need some snow to make winter memories!

Has winter come to YOUR area yet?

  9. Aww look at your little pumkin tummy, how cute are you! And those apples look yummy, it is probably good you only got a few, or you would be eating them all with caramel.

  12. Looks like a lot of fun at the orchard! No snow here. We only get a couple days a year. However, the leaves on the trees are down. Does that count? Love the bump! Thanks for sharing-Amanda

  17. What a fun day! I love the pumpkin/belly shot. :) Thankfully, we've had a warm November. Snow is on its way later this week though. As long as it waits until December, it's all good in my book.

  19. Awesome autumn post--really captures the spirit of fall!

    The pumpkin photo reminded me of one of the baby showers I had when I was pregnant. We played the game where everyone at the party had to cut a piece of string to fit around my belly. The winner was my cousin, who was 9 years old at the time. Her string was an exact fit! I asked her how she did it, and she said: "Earlier this year at school we played a game where we had to cut a string to fit around a big pumpkin. I won that game too. So, Denise, I just pretended that you were a pumpkin." It was really cute the way she said that. :)

    And your pumpkin pic, Keshet, is precious--definitely one to go in Baby's scrapbook.
