Pumpkin Patch

We always go to the same Punpkin Patch. This year time got away from us so we picked one close to home and we were really happy with our picks. This is the same place we go to every year to pick Strawberries in Charlotte. The kids loved running around and really liked going out in the patch to pick their own pumpkins. Another fun fall activity that led to a messy mess in the kitchen!!

Apple Picking

This weekend we went towards Hendersonville, NC and went apple picking at Sky Top Orchards. It was more fun than we imagined. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. The wind was blowing but the sun was shinning and it was a real "Carolina Blue" sky. We went with our friends The Copley's. The girls taught our kids how to climb trees and pick apples and they ran around and had the best time.
On our way out we enjoyed some tasty apple cider and brought some home for later. The kids picked so many apples. We came home and made an apple pie, an apple crisp and still had apples left over. It was definitly one of our favorite things to do in the fall.




And they are off!


Pick your own...you choose!






The way the boys did it!
