High Holidays & High Apples

This past weekend started off with celebrating the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. It was nice to spend some time with the family but fasting while your 3-year-old eats is not as fun as it sounds! I made it until 5:30 pm but was a tad bit cranky towards the end. We hosted the "break fast" at our house and Abby had a great time with her cousins Matthew & Morgan. Zach had a great time just being his cute self!

Sunday morning we woke up and saw the sun was bright so we motivated and headed up north to Wilkens Farm for some apple picking. Abby & Zach's cousins and our BIL & SIL joined us for a little while as they celebrated SIL's birthday. This year, Abby was able to reach a few more of the apples herself and was a great bag holder while Jason got the taller apples. Even Zach had fun as he tried to reach for the leaves and loved being outside in the gorgeous weather. We enjoyed tasting the various apples but the best part was going to the treat shop at the end and indulging in fresh apple cider donuts! Yum!

On Monday morning, Abby was very excited to bring some of the apples we picked to school to share with her class. Hopefully the kids all enjoyed the apples as much as we enjoyed picking them! Happy Fall!
