Apple's for All

Today, we all had the day off! Tim has recently gotten a new job and will have to work some weekends. But, since it's Labor Day, we are all home. And, the weather has finally broken! So what better to do on a day off with perfect weather than to go to our local orchard, Eckert's. As soon as we told Hannah that we were going apple picking, she just kept saying, "Mommy, apples!" When we got to Eckert's, we started with a trip to the orchard to pick our own apples. As we were walking toward the tractor, we had the added bonus of running into my cousin, Liz, and her family from Harrisburg! It was so fun to visit for a bit while we were picking apples. Hannah had so much fun, even though she dropped a few while trying to reach for them. We even had a couple while we were walking around. Cam, on the other hand, enjoyed hanging out in the sling and walking around with Mommy. He was super content all day and loved being outside in the beautiful weather! After picking, we bought some apple goodies from the Country Store. I am so excited to have fresh apple crisp this week, some red hot stewed apples and fresh apple cider -- my favorite fall foods! After shopping, we had lunch at the cafe. It was delicious! It was truly the most perfect fall, family day. We are looking forward to more fall activites over the next few months!
