Welcoming Fall with Apple Picking

Fall is my favorite season. Cooler weather, boots, jackets, soup, pumpkins, K-State football, colorful leaves - just the thought makes me so happy. I had heard about an apple orchard outside of Newton, and visiting it seemed like the perfect start to fall.

We didn't really know what to expect when we drove out to the orchard, but we had so much fun! We had the whole orchard to ourselves. We got to eat as many apples off of the trees as we wanted, and Natalie ate the most out of all of us. 

She didn't let go of this huge apple the entire time we were there. She actually didn't let go of it until we got home, and by that time most of it was gone! She kept smiling and saying "mmmm."

We made it home with about seven pounds of four different kinds of apples. I can already taste the apple desserts in our future!
