A family tradition!

This last Saturday a whole group of us went to the Apple/Pumpkin Farms! It's now a family tradition and it was so much fun, and it was even better than last year because Matthew was able to come with us since he has a normal Mon-Fri job now. Plus my sister-in-law and my nephew came so it was great to see them and watch Rhett and Alexa play the whole day. We first went to the Apple farm, and Matthew and I made homemade apple cider and it is so delicious! Making your own cider takes time and lots of muscle! After we made our cider we all went apple picking! It was a lot of walking for my almost 29 week pregnant body to endure, but so worth the fun we were all having, especially Alexa! Last year she wasn't walking yet and she didn't understand a whole lot so this year was really fun since she could walk and understand that you pick the apples and put them in the bag. She tried carrying the small bag of apples after we were done, but she kept letting go of one of the handles because the bag was way too heavy for her. After our apple adventure we went to Carls Jr. and ate some lunch before we went to the pumpkin farm. The pumpkin farm is my favorite part! They have so many fun things to do like a corn maze, petting zoo, picking pumpkins, music, food, and other fun things for kids a little older can enjoy like bounce houses and slides. Unfortunately, since we spent most of the day at the apple farm by the time we got to the pumpkin farm we were all so tired and you could tell that the kids were a little tired too since they didn't get a nap at all so we didn't stay as long as we would have liked. Ashley and I took the kids to feed the goats and they had a blast! After, we went through the corn maze, then we took the kids to ride the ponies. Once we were done with all of that we were even more tired, so we decided to skip the pumpkins and leave. Matthew and I are just going take Alexa to Irvine Park to pick out her pumpkin. Irvine park also has fun things to do this time of year, so we are excited to take Alexa since last year she was too little do anything.
