Fall Fun

Ever since we moved to Michigan I have a new appreciation for fall. Growing up, I liked fall, but preferred Spring and Summer. Here, there is a sense of urgency about fall- a get-outside-while-you-can-because-it's-about-to-get-super-cold urgency. There are festivals, cider mills, apple orchards, parades, and TONS of other happenings. The scenery is beautiful with the leaves changing around the lake here, and the general fall-like appearance. We've been spending as much time outside as possible lately. These photos are of a trip to an Apple Orchard complete with petting farm, pumpkin picking, cider mill, apple cider donuts (which I had never had before Michigan...they are a fall staple here!), and playground. We went with a few friends from our mom's group. Here is one of all of the kids playing on a wooden train:

And Liam enjoying his apple (he will eat as many apples as you give him- core and all!):
