Autumn Apples

The last two days have been FULL of autumny type things. Yay!

Yesterday, Mom, Dad, Bre and I headed to Oak Glen for a day. This is something we try to do every year in the fall. Normally we go in October for the pumpkins but we decided that we should go early and pick some apples! If you've never been and you like country things and picking fresh fruit, you should visit!!

The day started out with blue skies and beautiful clouds

 We stopped for lunch at the old school house. Bre collected acorns for crafty type things while the rest of us enjoyed the shade and took pictures.

The storm was coming... hence windblown hair haha

We've never seen this sign before so we had to get a picture with it.
Perhaps it will become a new tradition!

 After a long day getting in and out of the car at all the different places along the mountain, we finally picked apples! We picked spartan and gala apples.

 

 I ate one right from the tree and it was delicious. And warm. Sorta a cool thing, eating a freshly picked apple that was still warm from the sun.

After stopping at another place to use the restroom, it began to rain! And thunder and lightning!

Normally I enjoy thunderstorms, but I was scared... You're so much closer to it all when you're up on a mountain.... but the rain was lovely.

It was a long day but enjoyable with fun memories. Fall is here!

More pics of this evening to come soon!
