Pumpkins and Apples!

We took the girls to the pumpkin patch a couple weeks ago and to a local apple orchard last week. What a blast. I forgot my camera in the car so I don't have any pictures of the kids picking out their pumpkins, but what fun pictures of the girls playing in the maze and on the straw bale pyramid.

Maddy has some good girlfriends now. Lilly and Angeline are her buddies. Lilly is a sweet little blondie with a big personality. She also has as strong an attitude as Maddy. Angie, as we call her, our little brown haired friend, is quiet and sweet and very loving.

We also took them to this awesome little farm to pick apples and asian pears. Talk about CHEAP fun. The apples are 25 cents a lb, asian pears were 60 cents a lb and pumpkins for 15 cents a lb. The Farmer was this awesome sweet old guy who showed the kids the orchard and cut up fruit with his pocket knife for them to eat. The pumpkins were HUGE, way bigger than you get at the pumpkin patch we always go to. One guy was loading a pumpkin that weighec at least 50 lbs. I totally recommend this farm. We got 8 lbs of asian pears and 33 lbs of apples for $13. I'm making applesauce!

We picknicked in the orchard and had a wonderful time!
