Family Fall Fun Idea

Have you ever been to Lynd's Fruit Farms in Pataskla? We took Caleb there to pick his first pumpkin in 2004 (ok, so he was 3 months old, it was more for us). I've wanted to go apple picking with my boys but have never actually done it. This fall we're going to do it, no really I mean it. We have the "u-pick" schedule on our refrigerator and I have the date on our calendar (we're planning to go the weekend of October 3rd because the Red Delicious apples will be ready and those are our favorite)!

My boys are going to love it. If you're thinking about going apple picking this fall and your kids are anything like my 5 year old, you need to check out this movie "Apple Farming for Kids". The Grove City library has it but only in VHS (we still have a VHS player, can you believe it!) If you reserve it online (ask me if you're not familiar with how to do this) you can choose the DVD from another library.

Another thing they have at Lynd's Farm is a Giant Corn Maze.....and I mean GIANT! Here's an aerial picture of it.



I've never been through a corn maze this big and I think my kids might be too young for it but if you have older kids, they would probably love it. They chose a theme this year, "Persian Nights". As you can see from the picture they went to a lot of work to design that maze. They have something new this year for the younger kids, barrel train rides.

So if the weather is nice and you're looking for some "Fall Fun" for the whole family this might be a great choice.

Happy Fall Y'All
(this is my favorite time of year.....I just wish it lasted longer)
