St. John the Apostle UMC Pumpkin Patch

Last Thursday after school Jackson and I picked out our first of many (more to come) pumpkins!   We could not have asked for a more beautiful day....Fall is finally here!

Henrietta Creek Apple Orchard

Monday September 30th, we headed out with our friends to the Henrietta Creek Apple Orchard in Roanoke.   We learned how apples were grown, saw how they were cleaned,  and learned how bees make their sweet honey.  Those apples were delicious, not to mention the homemade apple butter. 

  Happy Fall 2013

 

 

We saw how the ladies would 'skin' an apple.  

Kendall & Jackson checking out the chickens...

These two loved picking apples...

 

not to mention eating them....yes I washed it before he ate it.

 



finding just a few more...

 

After our tour we had a picnic lunch there on property with our friends.  This was such a fun experience for the kids....So glad we have something like this so close to home.
