We smacked two quintessentially Fall activities into two days...getting our pumpkin, and picking apples!!! It was a fun filled (warm, as I previously mentioned) couple of days doing Fall-ish activities. This year, we had the pleasure of apple picking with friends from church....so fun!!
Now to figure out what to do with all these apples! So far we have apple butter made, and a pie...still so many apples left. We'll see what we come up with!!!
Each year we set out to the pumpkin patch to pick out our perfect pumpkin. We have a local patch that we've been going to since we've lived in this area and we love it!! This year, we took a hay ride to the patch and managed to find our pumpkin! We picked out three little bitty ones too, one for each kid. We've been a bit deprived as far as family time goes, so soaking in the precious moments together was lovely. It was a bit too warm for my liking, at nearly 85 degrees (in OCTOBER....hmmffff), but it was HOT lovely nonetheless!
The bumpy hay ride must have lulled little man to sleep!
A few shots of our precious "middle" kid.
Pumpkin thuggin'.
A family shot.
We hope you all find that perfect pumpkin as well!!
Since we had been studying castles in school, we thought we would try our best to visit one!! Hazel had picked a book out on castles at the library and we've been studying it and she was completely amazed with them. So after some research, we located a castle playground and another castle nearby which was the former residence of Henry Mercer. We had a lot of fun, and we snapped a few photos of our field trip adventure!!!!
The Castle Park.
We met a lovely British gentleman with a gorgeous Lab pup, he was so nice! He was quintessentially British, and was wearing a polo shirt with the words "Got Wine???" on it! He was cute!
The Mercer Castle.
We had such a great day, exploring castles! We hope you all have a great Friday, and an excellent weekend! Lot of love!!!!!!!!
Oh, and our Hymn study for the week is Amazing Grace! Each week we read a hymn, listen to it and discuss. It has been lots of fun! So, this week we listened to this little girl singing our weekly Hymn (we also listened to Elvis sing it too...it was ahhhmazing as well). This version was so moving...Hazel just loved it!!! So, listen and enjoy!
