Apples and Punkins

Each year we love going to this apple orchard.

You can't actually pick the apples there.

BUT you can drive around the whole farm

on golf carts- and that is a blast.

Ok so I admit it...

this was the 2nd time I went this fall.

The last time was with Kim and her little boys.

We had Lauren's help and four small children with us.

So we certainly had our hands full.

We still floored it.

So irresponsible I know.

Thankfully they don't go very fast.

Since we had already eaten the entire LARGE box of

honey crisp apples that I bought the last time I was here.

We knew that we wanted to come back and buy a bunch more.

After church on Sunday was the perfect time for a little adventure

on a crisp day. We didn't tell the kids where we were going.

When we arrived most of the children jumped out of the van

and ran over to the golf cart that Dad had claimed. Leaving

Lauren and I, along with Dominick and Lulu in ours.

Since we had less people... aka- "Less Bulk and Weight"

We went faster.

So we raced away down the aisles of trees.

Lauren and I even stuck our leg out the side and

pretended to push the cart along Flinestone style.

Each time we would come back down an aisle and

see Dad and his passengers we would scream and

race away again. At one point we went down an

aisle that was blocked at the end.

Apparently I was in such a hurry that I missed

seeing the road block. No fear- Lauren was there!

She hopped off the cart and pushed the farm thing

out of the way!

We raced past the horses and cows.
And past some pumpkin fields.
Dominick hopped off and picked a
pumpkin in record speed.
And off we went...
Back to the shop for hot cider.
Apples, caramel, and cider to bring home.

The perfect fall day had by all.
