Pumpkin Picking (and Apples too!)
It’s become a tradition for our family to get out to the orchard for some apple picking every season. We’ve actually taken Felix to different spots each time and this round we landed at Huber’s in south eastern Indiana. We took a tractor ride out to sample apples under the blazing sun (it didn’t feel like fall at all!) before coming back to the main farm area to check out pumpkins and gourds, have lunch and take some pumpkin ice cream to go (a solid A+ on pumpkin flavor!)
The first year was more about us getting out of the house and on the second year Felix was like “ga ga this is fun” but this year! THIS YEAR! All morning he was talking about the “arm” (farm) and picking “appes” (apples) and “punkins.” He loved the tractors and the baby calf statue and all of the “people!” and “kids!” As his vocabulary explodes he’s become such a clever and chatty little boy. We count our lucky stars to have so much fun as a family.
