The kids love to run around in the orchard and pick fresh fruit to eat. Dad likes the bigger-than-your-face-chocolate-éclairs. And mom loves the apple cider donuts. Add in a cup of coffee and some duck food, you have yourself a beautiful fall day.
We got a jump start on fall with these cooler than normal temperatures. The corn maze will be opening this weekend, that means the end to the sunflower maze. And since we hadnt made it up there, we decided Wednesday would be a great day for Lyman.
And boy, oh boy, was it ever. We could not have asked for a better weather day. The fresh air, and sunshine was just what I needed to clear my head. And the smiles and laughter from the kids, its just indescribable.
After the maze we went pear picking. Ended up deciding the Asian Pear was the family favorite. And then headed up the hill to the Peach Orchards. The peaches are the size of softballs. Warm from the sun, juicy and perfectly delicious.
We headed down to the Apple Barrel (Lyman shop of delights) for an obscenely huge éclair. A bag of apple cider donuts, and some duck food for the natives. :)
It was an absolutely perfect day. And the best part of all??
Its only the end of August. We still have weeks and weeks of fall left to enjoy!

Wait, we're really close to each other - - -Lyman Orchards - - - Here I am next blogging to see what else is out there. There are languages I can't read and some I don't think I want to. Finally, I found English again and you have to practically be in my backyard.
I'll have to stop by again to check out your blog.
