Apple Picking

This past weekend we had a fun visit from Aunt Gina. Unfortunately, the weather was not very cooperative - rainy on Saturday and abnormally hot and humid on Sunday. We decided to get in the fall spirit anyway with a trip to Connors Farm.



Henry started off on the giant bounce pillow:



Then moved on to the corn maze:



Alas, the weather was so unseasonably muggy that we didn't last long in the maze. Poor Henry, sweat streaming down him, had a mini break down 10 minutes in exclaiming "I'm too hot! I want to leave the maze! PLEASE!!!!" So, we abandoned our effort and recuperated with rubber duck races:



The apple cannon:



Some tetherball:


And, of course, apple picking:







THen Henry found a cool tire swing:



And we finished off with a trip to the pumpkin patch:



On the way home we toook a quick detour to Salem:


Where we got to visit a pirate museum:



As well as the witch trial memorial (we like to get in the Hallowee spirit early!)

It was a fun visit with Aunt Gina - thanks for making the trip!
