fall fun

yesterday joel, lauren and i went to an apple orchard with my cousin nate and his wife, liz, and their daughter, ava. the orchard was really beautiful, out in the country on a hill over looking fields and trees. it was a warm day, but a refreshing breeze was blowing. there were lots of activities for kids such as a corn maze, a mound of hay to climb to climb on, a big corn cob bin converted to a play area, a wooden train, hay rides, live music and animals to pet. the girls were a little young for some of the activities, but had fun playing in the corn cob bin and on the train. but i think their favorite thing was just eating the yummy apples. we also tried some hot donuts which were delicious and some fresh cider. we had a great time and i can't think of a better way to welcome in the fall!

little ava is great at giving hugs. i was trying to decide on a few pictures to post of the hugs, but they were all so cute that i'm just going to put them all up!

the tractor ride. weeeeee!

and lastly, here we are picking and eating some very tasty apples. yum, yum!

I love the photos of the girls hugging! :) I found a bee sting on Ava's inner arm last eve...I guess the apple must have been to good to notice?
