Bit of Summer, Bit of Fall

Labour Day weekend was a lovely blending of summer and fall activities.  Saturday was sunny and hot and we headed over to Saunder's Farm in Munster, ON.  It is a farm with everything from miniature houses for little people to giant "jumping pillows" for the big kid in us all.  The day was so hot but we managed to accomplish what we set out to do: have a fun day with the kids, have a picnic, get a bit wet and stay outside as much as possible.

Sunday it rained and we had a quieter day with a cleaner set of rooms by the close of it.  Monday was a perfect fall day - overcast, cool and perfect for the orchard.  It is wonderful to see those rosie apples waiting to be plucked.  The Cannamore Orchard was a bit of a drive so we were happy to see they had a wagon ride and other family activities to make a day out of it for the kids.  I picked apples, Keith took pictures and the kids, well...despite a few admonitions of "Don't pick the green ones!" and "Out of the flowers!!!", they basically did what they pleased and loved every minute of it.
