Picking on the Farm

Even though it is not feeling like fall much here yet, we decided to jump into some fun fall activities to kick start the season. Some friends invited us to go apple picking yesterday and we were excited to join them.

It took about an hour to get to the farm and we were really surprised at how uncommercial it felt compared to many of the pumpkin places here. The farm had has several pick your own fruits through out the season and we were excited to also be able to pick some yummy strawberries, too.


Ian was really excited to find this old tractor to play on

Can we say 2 year old boy heaven??!



There was also a hay tunnel to play in

Ian was a little wary, but made it through


On to strawberry picking...
