I think we might pick from a pretend apple tree. I don’t think there are any actual apple orchards nearby.
I just found this website through (gosh can not remember) and love it. Such great and easy ideas. TV in our house has been on more lately than usual. These ideas will help break that bad habbit. Thanks!
I am going to come back and take a closer look at these later, we will definitely be doing some!
Yes, yes, yes to the apple picking! Our family fall tradition!
It’s hard to believe that fall is here when it’s 90+ outside 🙂 I am looking forward to some of our favorites like hot cocoa and puzzling in the afternoon.
