more fall fun

Last weekend we headed north to partake in some fun fall activities with our families. It was a beautiful weekend, sunny and a little fall crispness in the air. We arrived on Saturday, and headed over to the Apple Festival with my parents. I've never seen so many types of apples (and pears)! As you can see from the tasting lines, there were so many and they were all so yummy! We had a great time, and best of all, it was free!! After the festival, my Mom made us a lovely turkey dinner for my Dad's birthday celebration. All the cousins and the great-grandma joined us at our parents house, and Willie got to meet his new puppy-cousin for the first time! They played together fabulously and had a marvelous time! And, the kids had a blast playing together, too. Then we had probably the best night sleep away from home yet. K went down without a peep, and slept all night, even longer than he does at home! On Sunday, we visited J's parents and somehow talked them into going out to (probably) the most "famous" pumpkin patch in the area. (You'll get what I'm talking about when you see the pictures, and if not, just watch TLC on Monday night at 8!) There were so many people out there, and we waited for at least an hour and a half to go on the wagon tour. For us (big fans), it was well worth the wait, unfortunately J's parents don't have the same connection we do, but they enjoyed the time with their grandson (who, by the way, did wonderfully during the LONG wait in line). After that adventure, J's Mom made us a wonderful brunch then we hit the road to come home. It was a busy weekend, but we had such a great time spending some time with our families! Since there were a few too many pics to post one-by-one, I made a short slide-show. Enjoy!
