Henry goes apple picking

We took Henry to the apple orchard yesterday. Growing up my mom took us to the Louisberg Cider Fest each year. It's a huge craft fair and then they have kettle corn, apple cider donuts hot out of the grease, apple cider three different ways (cold, slushie or hot). I never could decide which one I liked best but I think slushie and hot wins. We usually got a caramel apple too. Fall brings alot of memories and traditions that I want to carry on for Henry. Taylor loves fall activities too so we decided this weekend to go to the apple orchard and pick apples!

 We went to Cider Hill Orchard in Bonner Springs. It was a great family place to go. We had a picnic lunch on a picnic table out there with pulled pork sandwiches, baked beans and chips. For dessert we had hot apple cider donuts. This was the view from the picnic table we sat at.

He had never been apple picking before, it was so much fun for the whole family, I have only been once and Henry had so much to look at. He was fascinated. 

 ** side note: I am noticing I might be too skinny for my skinny jeans? what? praise Jesus.

Perfect apple with a single leaf, fresh off the tree, accented by the hand model (muah) with apple red nail polish. You're welcome.

 He was more interested in picking the grass.

 After apples we walked out into the pumpkin patch and picked a cute little round pumpkin for our cute little round pumpkin. Perfect size for him!

And then we went to the store and got hot kettle corn, fresh ice cold cider and purchased our apple haul and baby pumpkin. How convenient the Moby wrap is orange as well. Festive indeed. 

Henry stayed awake until we walked to the car, the walk did him in, out cold. It was such a fun day! I can't wait to do it every year, next year he will be able to help pick them himself and run around. So fun! 

When we were done at the orchard, we met up with my mom and went to Ikea for the first time! It was awesome, definitely a marathon adventure, not a sprint. It's HUGE and takes awhile to enjoy but it was really fun. I will definitely be back to purchase more items soon. For now I just got 2 orange throw pillow covers for my couch for Halloween for a steal ($4 ea) and a set of bright color plate/bowls for Henry as he is starting table food ($1.99 for the set of 6) and a $0.49 kitchen scrub brush. 

 When we walked into the furniture warehouse side I literally said "whoa, this is like monster's inc, where are all the doors?!" It's kind of intense.

 Henry wants a kid size table and chairs for Christmas Santa (not this one but I found another one that pretty much matches our big table that might have to happen) Look how old he looks here! ahh!

Henry got to play with my mom's dog, Pixie. He loves dogs, it's so funny. 

Look at that smile!

And this perfect fall scene slays me! What a cute nugget. 

We ended the day by having dinner with Taylor's parents and snuggling on our bed watching the Royals sweep the Angels in the playoffs. Henry and Cora snugglin. Love it!
