Fall Break!!!

We didnt go too far from home during fall break because Jared was working but we had a great week just doing things close to home



We first went to the Red Rock Park and took a lunch with us and  had a picninc after the kids wore themselves out on the playground


We  were able to see Disney On Ice and had great seats thanks to a friend that got the tickets for us -








We then went to Apple Annies with some friends for the first time and went throught the corn maze. The kids got pretty good at finding their way through - there were stops throughout giving clues on which way to go





Along with the pumpkins and produce they also had these huge sunflowers that you could cut for $1 a stem. We ended up getting some Kettle Corn and an apple pie - who can go to Apple Annies without taking one home? We had it for dessert Monday night with vanilla icecream- worth the drive out there just for that !




We of course had to pick a couple pumpkins to make some scary jack-o-lanerns


On the way out we stopped at Apple Annies Orchards and let the kids pick some apples to take home. We also left with some apple butter and apricot jam. We were told that the best time to go to pick fruit is in September when they have peaches,apricots, pears, and lots of different types of apples











Then to finish the afternoon we stopped for lunch at this fun resturant in an old railroad car.

I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR !

Isn't Apple Annie's the best? September IS the time to go. That's when they have their Peach Mania...MMMM! I get to go again on Saturday with the boys. Cute pics.

Aw, fun times! Apple Annies was a tradition for us and I am sad we missed it! Looks like you guys had such a fun day. I love fall, too!

Fun! We have an apple orchard a few hours away (in Lubbock) and every year they have OctoberFest. It is so much fun. You can eat all the apples you want while you are there and then you buy the ones you pick. Anyway, I called to see when they were harvesting and they told me all their crops were killed by a late frost. :( I was so sad! Glad to see you were able to do it!
