A summer trip to Apple Hill

Last Saturday morning, we headed up the hill for some late season berry picking. We went to a farm and picked both blueberries and raspberries. Owen loved it! He ate a number of berries off the vines and enjoyed being out in the country. We came away with basket full of raspberries and at least a couple of cups of blueberries. As if the fresh berries were not enough of a reward, we stopped at a second farm and bought fresh apple donuts and apples to go!

Later that evening, we were blessed with cooler temperatures and ended up having a picnic at the park for dinner. Owen played and played, while I sat under a tree, enjoying a cool breeze and my Olive Garden salad and pasta (Kris was a trooper and played with Owen and ate his food near the swings). The cool weather stuck with us Sunday morning and gave us a wonderful preview of Fall. Needless to say, I’m more than ready for leaves to start changing colors and the fall trips to Apple Hill to start.
