Drumroll please...

After our pumpkin collecting excursion we headed out to Pine Tree Orchard. The location of the infamous mom picnic tipping incident. I didn't check to see if the bench was commemorated with a plaque... At any rate the drumroll is more for your dad. This is his pick for Fall Fun. So I think it's officially a B family tradition. Due to circumstances (primarily a long food line and your Dad had to have a baked treat!), we spent a majority of our time in the yard just outside the entrance. Mind you, it was nice, but we didn't get much time in the apple orchard or pumpkin patch. I don't think you cared.


Try as I might I couldn't get you two to hang out by the scarecrow. Roman sat, but wouldn't look at me. Oh well. This will give us the progressional view, year by year.


We sat at a picnic table by a very pretty little cluster of plants. Of course Zoe picked herself a mum. And this didn't dawn on me until after I took these pictures and she went back for more. Oops. Nope. Can't do that in public. But I love this picture.




And luckily enough, Dad came back with an apple turnover about this time. MMM good.

 And then he stole the camera to get some closeups of the other live things around us.


 And a little house. This house was a little more active with little folk than the Roman and Zoe house in the backyard, but I guess that added to the fun.

 The four of us also got in a wagon ride. And learned that the highest point in Washington county is up in the orchard. Beautiful view I didn't capture on the moving wagon - nor did we have time to go back and walk around (this year!)


 But we did get some apples and some yummy cider to take home.  You two even got to watch the apples getting sorted, bagged and whatever else these people were doing.


Go apples.
