Apples and Pumpkins

These photos were taken in two separate outings with my MIL and the boys. They both embody autumn so well. The first trip was to a local 'you-pick' apple orchard. Most of the trees had perfect toddler friendly branches that the boys could easily pick apples off of.  The apples were delicious and we were even able to check out some turkeys they had on the farm. The second was to a pumpkin patch that my inlaws found nestled  along a quiet road. We had the patch all to ourselves which was wonderful but we also discovered first hand how prickly pumpkin vines are (ouch!) Like 90% of our outing the boys had a wonderful time both filling their bellies with apples while picking them and also being able to pick out the biggest pumpkin they could carry. And of course because grandparents are involved we left with a few huge pumpkins as well.
