This week we took another field trip - this time to the Apple Orchard! I love fall and everything about it and going to pick apples and pumpkins is definitely a yearly tradition for us.
It took all of 10 minutes for us to fill 3 large bagfuls and I finally had to tell the girls to stop picking or we'd end up with too many!
Nothin' better than a freshly picked, tart, sweet apple!
I love the color of all the fallen apples on the ground ...
We also took a walk through the pumpkin patch, although we decided to wait on buying them - they had some great, big, huge ones though!
Love it when they pose willingly for me!
LOVE the bright orange pumpkins!
We browsed the gourds and squashes too .... Hope like that this one was shaped like a giant acorn!
I'm always enthralled by the beautiful swirl of colors on the indian corn ... forgive me if this is a dumb question but how exactly do you make indian corn? Is it just dried out corn cobs? If so, how does it get all those gorgeous, marble-y colors?
Big, bright, beautiful Mums! Gotta get some for my yard SOON! My summer garden and flowers look terrible now and we need some color.
It was a great field trip ... coming soon I'll post about making homemade applesauce with all of those apples!

Looks like fun, Kathy!
About the corn, some corn grows with a variety of colors. It's just dried for decoration. Here's the corn page for Baker Creek Seeds to give you an idea of the variety out there - http://rareseeds.com/cart/catalog/Corn-136-1.html
We always visit the local pumpkin patch every fall, too! SO much fun! And for the past several years we've gone to local apple festivals, but this year I think I've found a pick-your-own orchard and I'm so excited about going. I hope it works out:)
Your field trip looks like a lot of fun!! Glad you had a great day. That Indian corn is gorgeous~did you get some?
Love reading all your posts! Thanks for sharing your journey with 'us'. I'll get back to your email...soon. I've been very busy with getting home and starting homeschooling with my daughter. This was my first week, so life is very different than what we are used to.
