Happy Apple Farm

Happy Fall!


We ventured south to Penrose, CO with friends on Friday to enjoy Fall and pick apples at the 
HAPPY APPLE FARM.
Great thing is.....they had apples, berries, AND pumpkins!

Campbell, Kai, Eli, Addie, and Reese waiting for the hayride back to the car.
It's a very cute orchard, dazzled everywhere with Fall decor.  I loved the colors, corn husk bundles, pumpkins, hay bales, scarecrows, etc! We picked raspberries, apples, and 1 small pumpkin. Something for each to hold. We took a hayride out into the fields (Eli's favorite part), sampled berries to our heart's delight (Addie's favorite part), and reached for the most plump, worm-free apples with the apple picker tools (Kai's favorite part). A beautiful day and great time enjoyed with good friends (my favorite part).

The berry pickers!

This girl LOVES her raspberries!

The "girls" LOved their berries I should say....Reese sampling a fist full.

Kai going for the good ones.....using the apple picker.

Eli was Mommy's helper holding the bag and sampling multiple apples in the process.

Now, what to do with 10 lbs. of tiny apples? Shall I attempt apple pie, taking a stab at homemade crust? A peeling nightmare FOR SURE.  We will see how the week pans out.....not feeling the cooking vibe amidst a busy week thus far. However, late night sweet treats are my weak spot. :) Enjoy Fall as the long sunny days slip away from us.
