Yesterday was family fall day and I thought we would share some pictures. Usually we call it our family fun day but since we did all kinds of fall things we changed the name. Neither Wayne or I had homework or anything else that was pressing so we were able to get up early and spend the whole day together doing something special with Jordyn. I chose apple picking. It definitely wasn't fall weather, it was 90 degrees but it was still an enjoyable day.
The apple orchard was about 40 minutes away so I decided to pack our lunch to take and have a picnic. I think that might have been Jordyns favorite part...being allowed to eat and walk around at the same time! Then it was off to pick apples. It didn't take us that long to pick because it was really hot and we had to take turns holding Jordyn so she could reach the apples. There were a few trees where she could stand on the ground and pick but when she was on the ground she wanted to pick the rotten ones up and she kept asking to get back up to reach the high ones. We did get a lot of different kinds and they were all very delicious looking. They also had animals at the orchard that we got to take a look at. It was fun to see Jordyn getting to put the sounds to real animals. We got to hear a pig oink, a sheep baa and we saw rabbits wiggling their noses. It was cool to see Jordyn make the sounds back at the animals too. She really enjoyed it.
The days wasn't over though. There were still fall things to do! When we got home we made sugar cookie dough and Jordyn got to help with that too. She liked helping me hold the mixer and beating everything together. After dinner we got to take it out of the fridge and make pumpkin and apples sugar cookies. She liked rolling the dough but cutting the cookies got a little boring and she wasn't to thrilled about the sprinkles. I convinced her to stay and help me make 6 cookies but after that she was done. I think her favorite part about cookie making was getting to stand on a chair! We ended the night with a video in bed, all 3 of us, and then mommy and daddy got to watch their own video when Jordyn went into her own bed. It was a great day!
Today I made applesauce and apple crisp from our apples we picked yesterday. Jordyn loved both although I think she liked the apple crisp better because she got to have ice cream with it! What a fun and tasty weekend.
