Apple + Pumpkin Picking

This past week we had the fun opportunity to go pumpkin and apple picking up in Stouffville and it was so much fun! Luckily, Tara and I both had the Thursday off, so we took advantage and drove to the farm! 

Faces of two people caught eating apples instead of picking them!

Before leaving the house, we looked at the weather and thankfully it wasn't suppose to rain but it was still got windy and chilly when we got there! ( I may look nice and cozy in my green sweater but don't get me wrong... I was freezing!) We decided to go apple picking first then finish with the pumpkins. We bought the 20-25 apple bag and began walking to the orchards, where we even passed two sheep eating corn, it was so cute!

We tried to fill our bag with 4-5 apples of each variety so we could taste as many different apples as possible. My mom was pretty good at getting the perfect apples and I mostly just picked apples to eat them seconds later. What's the point of going to an apple orchard if it can't snack a little in the process?!😂🙈

Next, we went on a tractor ride to some more orchards and took pictures near some colourful trees. I don't think we have hit the peak of the fall colours and trees changing just yet, but we still got a few good shots. We even found a bench where there was two pre-carved pumpkins sitting on it, so we had to stop and take pictures!

After we had picked all the apples that we could fit into the bag, we made it into the corn maze. I usually am not a huge fan of mazes because I don't like feeling lost, but this one was almost too easy, we kept turning the same way until we got to the end. lol

Lastly, we went to the pumpkin patch. With the purchase of a bag of apples and the entry fee, every one could to take home a pumpkin for free! So, it was just a matter for finding the perfect one!

Now, there are three cute pumpkins on my front porch and an 3/4 eaten apple crumble in the fridge!
I used this recipe and it turned out so good!

This was such a fun day and I'm so glad we went and did it! Once fall starts I always see thousands of photos of apples and pumpkin patches across Instagram and Pinterest but never have the time to go with school.

Have a good weekend,
