Fall in New England = Apple Picking. We've enjoyed heading to Connors Farm the past few years and so headed back on a day the weather man predicted a 76 degree day. It seemed as all of Boston had the same thought! We headed out early and beat most of the rush.
New this year was a mini-train with a track that ran around the perimeter of the farm. We eyed what trees looked good for apple picking yet to come.
Every year Connors Farm creates a unique corn maze. Scattered throughout the maze are clues that help lead you in the correct direction. We made a few good guess as well making us find the exit in record breaking time... 23 minutes!
Micah enjoyed our water friends hanging out on the beautiful fall day.
When we had our fill of farm activities, we headed to the orchard for apple picking. There is nothing like team work to get to the ripe apples up high!
It's way easier to pick apples if someone hold a branch down for you.
We enjoyed tasting as much as picking.
What does one do with so many apples??? You start backing. This was Izzy's first try at making a pie. Rather than a traditional crust, we opted for a twist and made a cookie crust. Depending on what it tastes like, she may be making this for Thanksgiving as her contribution.
The finale to our day was picking out pumpkins for Halloween.
