This past weekend, the Jak family headed out east to pick apples at Lewin's Farm. (Picks to follow.) That night, we made homemade applesauce from our apples, and hopefully this week we'll be making some sort of apple pie or apple crisp. Apple crisp just sounds like October to me!
Next weekend we're off to Philadelphia to go Sesame Place with our friends. In October, Sesame Place has The Count's Halloween Spooktacular! Elliot and friends will be dressed up in costume, we'll ride the dry rides, watch the parade and some shows. Excited for our first October trip to Sesame.
The following weekend we're continuing our tradition with Aunt Vik and Uncle Fuzz by heading to Boo at the Zoo at the Bronx Zoo. We're so excited for our new addition to our tradition - baby Lily!!! Again, the kids will be in costumes and we'll check out all the animals.
Pumpkin picking is our activity for the following weekend. We'll head out east again, though this time maybe we'll pick up a famously delicious Briermere pie. We really like the place we went last year, we're planning to go there again. I have to look up from my pictures where exactly it was! We'll do a corn maze, hayride, and pick our pumpkins.
The final October weekend will be spent Trick-or-Treating, of course! We'll do Trick-or-Treat Street at one of the local schools, and then go around our neighborhood on October 31.
A busy month, but exciting for sure! Elliot loves all the pumpkins and ghosts that we've been putting around the house.
Also, today, October 5, we're thankful for our PopPop (my Dad!) who is celebrating his 59th birthday! Happy birthday, Dad!!!
