Pumpkin Time

This weekend we carved our pumpkins.

Cider Press

So what do you do with 55+ lbs of apples? You build a cider press. Everyone had a chance to help daddy build it also. Half is gonna be kid friendly cider and the other will be hard cider for mommy.

Oktoberfest (late post)

There is a small German town just south of us called Mt. Angel. Ever year they host a huge Oktoberfest celebration, so naturally we had to go check it out. It was pouring outside that day so we decided to cram into one of the beer halls to stay dry, to eat, and chicken dance with the kids. We met some interesting people and made lots of memories. Can't wait til next year!

Hood River

My kids think it's crazy that apples just grow on trees, which makes me laugh (apparently they never noticed fruit on trees before). So of course this fall we had to take them to an orchard so that they could pick their own. Hood River is known for their fruit orchards and was an excellent choice. 55+lbs later, I feel like we might have a Popi apple pie situation ahead of us.

Pumpkin Patch

It would not be Fall with out going to a pumpkin patch.
