When I think of the beginning of Fall, I think of leaves starting to change, crisp weather, football, and apple picking! We have made it an annual event .
Here is our family last year after we picked our apples. It was a rainy day, nevertheless, we continued on with apple picking! I must say I was not prepared for the weather! Luckily my mother in law had some extra hats in her car for the kids and I! Of course my macho husband didn’t need a hat or coat;) ha! He’s funny…he claims it’s the Canadian in him that makes him love the cold! ha! It was a blast, despite the weather!
Looking back at this picture I can’t believe how much difference a year can make! My daughter is such a little peanut in this picture! I’m looking forward to going again this year! So to get in the mood, I thought I would share with you the crafts, decorations, and recipes I’m excited about doing with our apples!
