Fall Fun Day

Back a few weeks ago, Brent and I decided to enjoy some Fall Fun. First off, we went to an apple orchard and picked ourselves some wonderful apples! I think we ended up with over 30 pounds of apples, and have already been enjoying some of the wonderful applesauce and apple crisp we've made, and have many more fun treats ahead of us!




After the apple orchard, we took a nice long lesurely drive through the countryside heading towards Green Bay, in order to check out the great fall colors that were showing themselves. We stopped at a little park along the way and it was fun to see that every single leaf in the park was a beautiful gold-yellow!



When we arrived in Green Bay, we went to Heritage Hill, which is this great state historical park, complete with old buildings that show us how people lived "back in the day". We happened to be there on the day they had a big Halloween Festival, so it was mostly little kids running around to get candy at each home or building, but it was fun to see their costumes! I'm sure we'll go back again, but maybe not on a "special" weekend.

When we got home again, I realized that our backyard tree was just as beautiful as any we had seen all day!


I was also able to zoom in on two of the ducks that live on our dock. We've got a whole family out there! If you click to enlarge, you should see them in the picture.


It's been a good fall around here, and while all the leaves are off the tree now, it's nice that we haven't had any snow yet!
