The kids and I have really been enjoying our Friday morning excursions with my parents to check out all the fun fall outdoor activities in our area. The weather has been supurb and we're enjoying evey second of it. Wonderful memories for the kids to have with nana and bobo.
In the last month we went to ...
the state fair
the Minnesota zoo
the downtown farmer's market
Today we went to a new (to us) apple orchard. We enjoyed a hay ride, playing in a silo, running through a corn maze, saying hello to a pony, picking apples and having a picnic. What more could you ask for on a Friday morning!? 
On a funny, note Cari emailed me the other day to let me know that I'm on Matthew Meads blog here. Such a funny picture. It was taken (totally unbenounced to me) at Junk Bonanza when I was scrounging through my wallet looking for my business card. Jennifer Murphy was behind me waiting to take my picture with him, while I gushed to Matthew about how he inspired my sweet and sinister swap with his wonderful black and white Halloween styling. Never found my card, but did enjoy a nice chat with him. Hope you have a glorious fall weekend.
Ahhhh, I wish we could go to an apple farm. I don't think we have an apple farm within a 100 miles of us. Looks like you had fun.

What a cheery autumn post. I'm off to check out Matthew Mead right now!
ReplyDeleteOn Sunday I got out to the pick your own farm. I picked pumpkins and corn and I was amazed to get some late season raspberries - 2 and a half kilos! So I have raspberry jam now to give me sunshine in the dark of winter. Oh and I bought some sunflowers - I love Autumn!
