Fall Fun Day!

As you may or may not know, fall is our favorite season! It is finally becoming cool - the perfect temperature really; leaves are changing colors; pumpkin flavored foods and beverages are everywhere; and happiness fills the air.

While it is still somewhat warm here, last week marked the beginning of more fallish weather here in Philly and we are starting to see some leaves changing colors. Therefore, I had the urge to do something fun and fall related. I had been to an apple orchard with friends in the past and found it was a good time, so I suggested to Rory that we find an apple orchard here - especially because apple season in Pennsylvania is upon us. A quick internet search, and confirmation by some friends, led us to Linvilla Orchards where it was Apple Festival weekend. Rory had never been apple picking so I was excited to show him how to do it!

We picked a box of apples (of which I used half to make delicious crock pot applesauce) from a variety of different apple trees. Then, we headed to the market and explored the pumpkin patch, the food stands, and bought delicious apple cider. We didn't have time to do a hay ride (we had lots of other errands to run that day) but we did have a good time looking at all of the fun fall items around the grounds. We also found two really deliciously scented candles and have been enjoying their aroma ever since.
