caramel and apples

This weekend my sister and I made caramel apples after her trip to an orchard with some friends. They didn't exactly come out like we planned...but we had fun!

Caramel!

We put them in the fridge hoping they would get harder but the caramel was to thin and it ended up being apples sitting in a really big puddle of caramel. So we sat on the living room floor, watched The Incredibles and got really sticky! The perfect way to spend an October evening.

A Trip to the Orchard and Grandma's

The first weekend in October was beautiful! After a week of rain, we were ready for the sun and a trip to the apple orchard!

We went to this great family owned orchard way north of town off on a dirt road.

We won't be making applesauce for a couple more weeks so the trip was made mainly for fresh cider and donuts! For some reason though I failed to take a picture of those because I was taking pictures of all the other delightful things they had...

Like baby pumpkins!

After that adventure we went to my Grandparents house nearby for some AMAZING vegetable soup for dinner...and some home grown tomatoes!

My little sister Abigail got to pick a pumpkin from Grandpa's pumpkin patch for our front porch.

It was a great way to start the month of October and the Autumn season.

October Sunshine

I love that October began with a glorious week of sunshine and warmth!

Pom juice + Sunshine = happiness
