First Day of Fall Fun

The anticipation of our annual trip to the apple orchard makes the days leading up to Fall break extremely exciting for my children. The memories of having the same giddiness as a child amplifies the fun we have on our yearly trip to the North Georgia mountains.

This year we did the major sites of the North Georgia mountains in a matter of hours. We started out a little later than we wanted but that did not hinder us from doing a speedy drive by of the most popular attractions in the area before heading home.

We did the apple orchard.

Make sure to read the sign. I loved it!

We traveled about 20 miles down the road to Amicalola Falls. The elevation was high and the weather was glori0us . We sat and listened to the water fall for awhile. We’ll head back once the leaves start changing hopefully.

We passed these huge pumpkins on our way to the falls and decided to come back and take a closer look after we were done. I’d heard of Burt’s  Farm and how crowded it can be during the Fall season. Glad we happened upon it in it’s calm state. The selection was amazing and totally affordable, we picked up a few before heading home.

Another Fall trip in the books. I am really hoping to plan a trip back there once the weather cools down and bit and it really starts to feel and look like Fall.

What’s on your list of things to do and places to visit for the Fall?

Apple Pickin’

Last week for Fall break, my babies,  my SIL, niece and nephews took the 2 hour drive to Elijay, GA which is just north of Atlanta for an afternoon of apple picking at B.J. Reece Apple Orchards. We picked the perfect day, while the weather was a little warm, it was overcast so the shade from the clouds was welcomed.

Before getting started we had to take our obligatory photo in front of the sign. Excuse me while I make sure my selfie stick is working.

My youngest nephew I’m sure had the most fun. He loves apples and just as quick as we could get them in the wagon  he was taking baby sized chunks out of them. The majority of the green apples had already been picked over. Was a little sad about that, really wanted some Granny Smith. We manged to find a few, but not many.

I have so many apples that I need to do something with. Unfortunately I was terribly under the weather and didn’t have a chance to really bake like I wanted and this coming weekend is extremely busy. Sunday, I’ll make my Mom’s apple pie and I’ll even share the recipe. I know she would want me to!

Have you made the trek to the apple orchard or pumpkin patch yet? Here is our trip from last year.

{The Lovely Everyday} A Week in Photos

Last week was super laid back, if you couldn’t tell. I was not checking for Lipgloss and Binky. When my dad comes to town I get brand new.  With the children on Fall break we spent a lot of time outdoors,  took a trip to the apple orchard, journeyed downtown to be immersed in all things Frozen at the Disney on Ice production….and Victoria’s Secret had a sale. Last week was good.
