We had glorious weather last Sunday when we went to an apple orchard in Lakeville. With autumn firmly in place, the sunshine and warm temps are fleeting, and the potential for them to disappear runs high. When we saw that there was going to be blue skies and comfortable temps last weekend, we decided to jump on the opportunity to spend a morning outside, stomping around the apple trees.
Turns out that a LOT of other people had that same idea. Haha! Regardless, we had a grand time. We picked a ton of delicious apples (honey crisp is still the fave in this family,) went on a little hayride around the orchard, wound our way through a hedge maze, and let G burn off some energy on the playground at the orchard.
I picked up some fixins to make an apple crisp, so I need to make sure we use that before the apples are no longer good to eat. I thought that could be another fun baking adventure for Ava and me...now I just need to find the time to do it!
Scott just wrapped up his first weekend up north, prepping for hunting season. I was really happy to see him come home this morning...as much as I love my kiddos and my dog, it's nice to be able to take a small break for myself, and not have to be in charge, 100% of the time.
We have more fun fall activities planned in the upcoming weeks, including G's 5th birthday! Before we know it, the holidays will be here, and we will be so busy, we don't know which way to turn. We need to enjoy these slow fall days while we have them...

This was a neat little comparison that Google put together for me...the image on the left is when Ava was 4 years old, and we were in Vail. The image on the right was this past weekend. It's fun to see how much she has changed in six years!
