So our October keeps rolling along with fun activities each and EVERY weekend! Two weekends ago, we decided, at the last minute, to head to West Virginia to do our apple picking/cider making before it was too late (and all the apples fell)!
Here's Ella gathering the apples from the trees...
Putting them into the machine...
and the BEST part (her favorite), drinking the cider fresh from the press!
It was a wonderful weekend - complete with a beautiful morning...Ella is wearing her new bathrobe - that she is SO proud of!...and I haven't taken the time yet to introduce our newest addition seen here on my lap - Zoey the Chiweenie! Zoey entered our lives about a month or so ago, and has actually fit in quite nicely. She is excellent company for Ella who LOVES to carry her around everywhere she goes (and when she's not holding her, Zoey is typically following her (or me :)) around!
Then this past weekend, 'Nana' and Bob came to see us, and we took our yearly trip to Hess Corn Maze/Back Home on the Farm where we enjoyed pig races, the carousel, fun farm games, and of course a hay ride to the pumpkin patch! I loved our family photos from the pumpkin patch!
Then we came back to our house and had our Halloween party! (another annual event for the Conners)!! It was a great time complete with pumpkin paiting, face painting, tye dye shirts, caramel apples, and even some eewy, gooey games!!
This weekend will be MORE fun Halloween with downtown Trick-or-Treating, the Harvest Festival at church, and of course actual Trick-or-Treat on Monday for Halloween! Gotta love this time of year!
