All I have to say is that I am so thankful for friends who schedule dates to go apple picking months in advance. (yay Becca!) Because I really do love it- but I am such a short term thinker - that's why Dan and I work so well together, he's big picture and I plan out the details to make it happen. Unfortunately he isn't big picture in terms of Fall. Which is totally ok. Eventually he'll convert over in realizing how amazing Fall is. Until then, I will drink my pumpkin spice lattes, burn my pumpkin candles, and use my pumpkin soaps until December. Because in my mind that is how long we can celebrate Fall- until Thanksgiving is over :)
Anyway, all of our friends realized was we were walking up to the orchard that we started doing our apple picking adventures when I was pregnant- maybe just 6 weeks or so?- with Jake! I don't even think we had told more than 5 people. And this my friends, is why I keep a blog. Because I was able to look back almost 5 years ago to find that post haha. What is crazy is it feels just like yesterday we were at the Orchard together with just us couples! However, I think we would all admit that although we are all juggling more kids and pushing strollers and rushing home to beat the meltdowns, we wouldn't trade any of it for the world. I am so thankful for this group of friends and for all of their adorable kids that we get to hang out with.
We did everything we wanted- bought apple butter and pumpkin butter, ate tons of apples, drank apple cider and ate apple donuts, rode the tractor, and picked apples. It was such a fun afternoon and a great way to start off this wonderful season :)
