I think I can officially say it's Fall

We went to one of my [our] favorite places today. And we wore sweatshirts. Matching ones if you must know. I've been going to this place pretty much my entire life. My mom often tells the story about when I was young and playing at the playground while a field trip was there. I said, "What are all of these kids doing on MY playground?" I guess I was used to having the whole joint to myself. What place am I talking about? Brookfield Orchards. Open year round and home of the happy apple. Do I sound like an advertisement? Well, I did spend every weekend during harvest season there for both my sophomore and junior years of high school. I just love the place!

Anyways, we went and played, got a couple of pieces of [what used to be] penny candy, and of course picked some apples. It was a perfect fall day! Crisp air, cloudless blue sky and an abundance of apples to be picked. So glad we did it. Here's a little glimpse at our day.

A welcoming sight to enter into. Penny candy, here we come! [Did I mention I was the penny candy girl  one year? Yep, I was. Countless hours of counting candy...]

Mom's asking us to pose for a picture? Ok, I'll put an apple on your head instead

This field is currently laying fallow. All of my growing up years I remember this being full of apple trees. I wonder if my son will ever see trees in this field?

Perfect day. Abundance of apples. So glad we made the trip today.
