Apple Hill

Last weekend, Brian, Gemma and I drove up to Apple Hill for the day.  We figured it was a great way to spend a fall "family day".  After almost three hours in the car, this baby was very pleased to move to her stroller:
 We had a bbq lunch, looked around the craft booths, shared an apple fritter and enjoyed ourselves at High Hill Ranch.  Then we walked to a pumpkin patch....on the way, we passed really pretty vineyards:
 At the pumpkin patch, this 'lil pumpkin looked so cute!
 Look at those smiling eyes peaking over daddy's shoulder:

 We walked by a tree farm, too...took this picture of silvertips for my mom:
 After I had the most delicious caramel apple ever, we each had an apple beer then we headed out to Bodhaine Apple Ranch to buy frozen pies for Thanksgiving....Harvest Pie (cream cheese - pumpkin) and a Raspberry Apple Cream Cheese Pie...both blue ribbon winners at the state fair...yum!
We had a great day...next year, we'll go during the week AND when the weather has cooled down a little more.  Gemma was so good all day - even in the car! We ended the night by stopping in Vacaville for dinner with Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Mitch.
