The beauty of FALL

Today we ventured to Iowa City to visit family and the apple orchard. I had this weekend off for my friend Katie's wedding, so we decided to use the most of it and jam pack it full of activity. The weather was gorgeous today and the trees were fabulous. Check out our day!

At Wilson's Apple Orchard outside of Iowa City today, we bought apples, pumpkins, peach butter, and apple slicer/corer/peeler, and a fresh hot apple turnover. We rode along on a tractor ride through the orchard and even through the river! It was a wild ride! Sophie kept saying, "This is dooms day." What a creep. :)

The girls had fun finding apples on the ground. They are $1 a pound from the ground and $2 a pound from the tree, so we went for the obvious deal. The ones on the ground are a plenty and good. I'll be sure to make lots of apple crisps in the next week. That's just what my expanding belly needs. No doubt.

Best of all, we got to hang out with family. Mom and Darrell, Lianna and Ashley (like family), and us...the Clarks. Shawn was quarantined due to the flu. :( We stopped and saw Grandma Betty on the way back. It was a wonderful day, and the scenery was phenomenal. What could be better than Fall?

Nada.
