One of our favorite fall fun things to do is pumpkin painting. I think this is our 4th year of pumpkin painting and a fall favorite for the girls. The middle of October arrived and the question came more and more often: "Mom, when are we going to paint our punpkins?"
So the last week of October, we made sure we painted. This girl looks excited about painting pumpkins for sure!
Bethany loved layering (and layering some more...) all the paint colors on her pumpkin this year and it was beautiful.
Rebekah painted her pumpkin in bright, colorful stripes.
Rachel skipped the brush altogether and painted flowers using the her finger tips.
And this little lady just painted and got her foot painted to put her footprints on her pie pumpkin.
It is so fun to watch them each be creative in their own way and another fun night of pumpkin painting
One of our other favorite fall activities is apple picking. I was thinking back and I am pretty sure we have made a trip to pick apples every fall since Rachel was born and we even took the youth to pick apples one year even before she was born. One of our favorite spots to pick apples is Carter Mountain Orchard in Virginia. We had to be in Virginia for a photography event the end of October and were able to squeeze in an hour or so of apple picking.
We actually were able to enjoy a mountain sunrise and see a little snow(!)with the fall color in Shenandoah before we arrived at the orchard.
This sweet baby loved her Daddy holding her up so she could see all the apples. She seemed to like her first apple picking trip!
We were just in time to pick our favorite kind of apples, the Pink Ladies. The big girls had plenty of apples they could reach this year.
Bethany also found "her" apple. This one didn't go in the bag with the others...it was only to be carried by Bethany.
Here are Rachel and Bekah with our yummy apples.
We were thankful to enjoy a quick but delicious apple picking trip this year!
