Trip to Appleberry Farm


As I've mentioned before, fall is my favorite time of the year.  Signs of Autumn:

  • trees turning to gorgeous colors of red, yellow, and orange
  • football in full swing
  • jeans and a flannel
  • apple orchards

Two years ago Katie and I took Sorin to Applegarten on down on Fish Hatchery Road.  It was a good experience but last year we discovered Appleberry Farms out off Mineral Point Road and it has become our favorite autumn destination.  (You can see from the pics how much cooler it was last year.)

Of course this year Norah had her first experience with the apples and pumpkins at Appleberry Farm.  It was a hot fall day, temperatures into the low to mid-70s by the time we were leaving.  This year we took a hayride for the first time and really enjoyed a relaxing tour of the property.

In a little back story, my sister Megan and Jeff got Sorin a wheelbarrow for his birthday.  You can see he's really good at using it around the yard.

So today at the farm Sorin jumped right into action when it was time to find a pumpkin for him and his sister.





Sorin even finished off the process by taking the pumpkins to the scale to be weighed before we could purchase them.





This year's trip to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch was a little shorter (and warmer) than in years past, but you can see the whole family enjoyed the morning together.
