Taking your children to a pumpkin patch to get pictures for
the fall is all the rage and has been for years. I must say that the object of
our visit to a local farm was not the pumpkins but the picking of apples.
However, as we had to walk right through the very large patch….
Emry thought the pumpkins where wonderful – bright orange,
huge balls she could push but certainly not pick up and throw. She loved
sitting among them, chattering away as she does when she’s excited and has
something to tell the world (whether we understand it or not). She also enjoyed
the old farm tractor set up in the patch, primarily, I am guessing, for photo
ops. At least, until, she got tired of getting her photo taken…
So, then, we were off to pick apples. She was getting
restless, so I gave her one of the apples. I wasn’t really sure what she would
do with it for she has never had anything but apple slices. However, she new
exactly what to do…and ate nearly the whole thing – core and all.
After a stop at the little shop to try to apple cider, we
sat out front to finish our apple and enjoy the pink flowers (our favorite). I
love fall – it’s such a beautiful time to be out enjoying all the cool, crisp,
color.
