Orchards!

One of the best things about fall are trips to orchards, fun mornings full of apple picking and checking out all of different types of pumpkins and gourds.
A couple of weekends ago, we drove over to the Peoria area to Tanner's Orchard.  It was a really fun morning, they have lots of free samples (apple butter, pumpkin butter, cider, and other yummy treats), along with the ever popular apple cider donuts (are they even legal?!)

And I went apple picking for the first time, Greg had planned to be with us but woke up with a terrible migraine the morning we were going.  I had so much fun tasting which apples I wanted right off the tree, and then filling up my bag, some of the favorites from the day were Golden Delicious and Johnagolds.  So yummy!
Our super awesome friends daughter, Tilly, she loved those apples!

We also enjoyed checking out the different kinds of pumpkins and gourds.  The lumpy pumpkins were my favorite...
Seriously, how do they even do that?

Tilly loved the pumpkins!  And that's her dad, Ben, he's pretty cool too
