Apple Hill

My mom and Mike came up to visit us for a few days in October to see the kids, celebrate their birthdays and also to watch the kids so that we could get some time away (we went to Sonoma for 2 days). They got to watch Cole's soccer game on Saturday and then on Sunday we took them up to Apple Hill for some more fall fun and special treats (I'm in love with their Apple donuts!). We had a fun afternoon visiting two of the orchards and Mike was able to capture some cute family photos. It's so beautiful up there this time of year, I love it!

The Whole Family :-)

Bishops Pumpkin Farm

It's become an annual tradition for us. Halloween wouldn't be complete without our family trip to Bishops Pumpkin Farm in Wheatland. This was Cole's 6th year and the kids look forward to it so much! We went a little earlier in the season this year and the pumpkin selection was awesome. I think we got 4 huge pumpkins for like $18!! The kids enjoyed hiking through the fields in search of their perfect pumpkin. We ate a yummy lunch, followed by some apple pie and caramel apples (healthy, I know!), but boy were they good! The kids got to feed the animals and enjoy the train ride. This was Bella's first trip and as usual, she was a total trooper. We stayed for about 5 hours and all of us came home very dirty and very tired!

They had more fun on this slide.

out our pumpkins.

Izzy's First Hayride, doesn't she looked thrilled? :-)

See Jim and the kids wayyyyyy out there! Izzy and I tried
to hide in what little shade we could find. It was HOT!!

The Train Ride

I had to end with this picture, because this is where everything fell apart. Olivia was getting her picture taken here and Cole wanted a turn, so he tried to pull her down and of course, she pulled back which made her fall into the wood thing, cut her lip open and start bleeding. She started crying as soon as she saw the blood and then Jim got really upset with Cole for doing that to her, so he started crying and everything pretty much fell apart. We knew it was time to go home!
