Pumpkin Patch, Assisi Heights, and Apple Orchard

Saturday we had a fun filled day planned with Grandma and Grandpa. Matt was in Canada for a few days. We went to Oak View Nursery in town. It started out as a chilly day, but when the sun came out it warmed up a little bit.

I think the favorite was the corn and maze. They were determined to find all the stops on their card. Lucas caught onto that concept quickly and had to cross off on his card also.

After the pumpkin patch we headed to Rochester....I have two great aunts (one on each side) that are nuns (sisters). They are both at the motherhouse, Asissi Heights.

This place is beautiful and I'm always in awe when I'm there, though it's been awhile since I was last there. We visited my dad's aunt, Sr. Florence, who is not doing so well. My mom's aunt, Sr. Bernadett, came with us to the Sekapp apple orchard.



The boys let some energy out in the courtyard.

Sekapp orchard was a really nice orchard. Granted it is a little late in the season and many of the apples have been picked, however we still found our share of good apples. The boys LOVE picking apples....and eating them. Lucas ate a WHOLE apple...pealing and all. You had to take a wagon ride out to the orchard.

We went out for dinner at a place called Whistle Binkies...I laugh every time I say that name. ;) It was a pub type place and the food was delicious.



It was a packed day, but so much fun. Everyone was exhausted by night time, adults included.

Apple Orchard

One of the wonderful things that comes with fall.....going to the Apple Orchard. We love doing this. It was a gorgeous day Sunday, and a perfect way to hang out together. We headed to Trumps Orchard....

Where we are able to Pick Our Own Apples....

If I had a quarter for every time I heard, "Oh yeah, this is the one!" or "Look at this beauty!", I would have quite a bit of money.

The boys would get on the "apple picker" to get those unreachable ones.

We even got to try the apples while we were picking them. The boys approved.

We came home and played outside and ended the night with eating dinner on the living room floor watching America's Funniest Videos. Pretty darn good day if you ask me! Can't ask for much more. I am truly blessed.

Hope everyone has a great week.
