So tonight I picked the kids up from school met Matt and headed for Eckerts Farm, this has become a tradition of ours, going apple picking in September then Pumpkin picking in October, gone are the days though when it was free to get in any time you went, or just the $2 entrance fee, it is now a hefty $7 a person 2 and older So for our whole family to get in it would cost us....wait let me do my math! $42!! Wow that is a lot of money, however we didn't pay that tonight as tonight it was free to get in between 3-6pm yeah! We love it there, there is still lots to do and animals to see and of course the wagon ride to pick apples and eat apples yum!!
I love the Fall, though we are not technically in Fall yet it has felt like it, the weather is fantastic cool at night warm in the day, you want to get out the crock pot and make yummy roasts and chili's.....okay getting off the point a bit, So we arrived at Eckerts, Dominic loved the tractors, the golf, they all loved the corn maze and the gigantic slide that goes under ground for a bit, the goats, pigs, horses and deer and of course apples, lots of apples golden delicious, Jonathon's, Naomi enjoyed the day out too all bundled up in my new sling! Loved that.
It didn't feel too overwhelming being out with all the kids at a big farm, it helped that it wasn't too busy, I had Naomi attached to me and Matt pretty much kept a hold on Dominic and the older 3 ran about close by, I love this picture of us all and can't believe that there are 7 of us now!
So here is a fairly decent picture of me and Naomi, usually I am the one taking the pictures and when I do have one of mr in it, the kids capture me in not the greatest of appearance! I love snuggling her like this, she just melts into my arms and snuggles into my neck, oh what a joy she is!
So now I have 10 pounds of apples, I'll be making apple crisps, apple pie, maybe some apple salad, and a few new things I'll have to look up recipes for.
What a wonderful, beautiful time we had, I am so blessed, and just praise my God for the beauty's of this world and for my amazing family!

Oh this post makes me want to cozy up in warm sweaters and a fire. Wait. The coolest it's been here in Savannah this month is 80. I miss the fall! We hope to make it to IL before the apples are done. . .
