Pumpkins and Apples: Fall is here!

Yesterday we headed out to the pumpkin patch. We ventured out to one in Redlands called Live Oak Canyon. It is really cool-- you can actually go out and cut your own pumpkins off the vine if you want. The kids had fun riding in the wheelbarrow, sliding down the slide, driving the John Deer tractors and choosing their pumpkins.

After choosing our pumpkins we then headed up to Oak Glen for some yummy apples. We packed a lunch and had a picnic at one of the orchards. Then our friends, the Bailey's, joined us for some apple picking. Blake was quite the little apple picker, but honestly it was hot and the orchards had these sharp stickers that Katelyn kept getting stuck to her, so apple picking was short-lived for her. Afterward we treated ourselves to some yummy apple pie a la mode. Yummy!!

It was a fun day! Happy Fall from the west coast!
