Though the calendar says fall, the weather is showing the last remnants of summer. For enjoyment, we headed out for apple picking at one of our favorite locations, Connors Farm. COVID definitely changed how things were run. Most of what we enjoy however was not affected. Our favorite has always been the corn maze. Ironically no apples were actually picked. We were too distracted by all the other activities.
This year we did not get a map of the farmstand which helps us get an aerial view of the maze. We were therefore left with doing it the old way. Nevertheless we worked together and made it out in 29 minutes. This wasn't our best time but worthy nonetheless.
The pedal tractors is always a hit. This year the twins were big enough to reach the pedals and could go by themselves. I might have had to jump off a few times to give them a push when they got stuck though.
New for us was the apple guns. We purchased one large basket of apples to split between the four of us. Micah was all about this activity and took aiming seriously. Victoria came at it with humor and ironically was the sharp shooter in this family. Our favorite target was the beat up truck probably because everyone was able to hit it more than once.
After being on our feet for awhile, we headed to take a train ride (Victoria's choice) around the farm.
We could have played Who's Your Pumpkin longer. This was a fun fall version of Guess Who. It's funny how something so simple can be so interesting.
The end of the day was spent jumping their hearts out until hunger took over and it was time to go eat.
