Apple Picking and The Pumpkin Patch

This is a Wisconsin family tradition that we have adopted! Did you know that they grow apples in Wisconsin? Wisconsin is not just about cheese and beer! Apple orchards are plentious around here!
Each week the orchard selects a different variety for picking. The weekend we went we picked Golden Delicious. The kids had a blast climbing the ladders and sending their small buckets down to Abby to dump in the big basket.


Wisconsin farms are the farms you see in pictures! They are absolutely beautiful. After apple picking, we had a picnic on the grass and then went in search of the perfect pumpkin. We had never seen such a huge pumpkin patch! It was acres and acres of pumpkins!!

We had a wonderful afternoon and finished it off with a cup of fresh apple cider! It was heaven in a glass! We spent the next few weekends making apple pie filling!!
