Finally Fall...

After months of at least 90 degree weather we are getting a much needed reprieve. It feels like fall. Even 86 degrees feels a little more like fall to us. We really miss the fall in Utah because it starts in early September and it happens to be our favorite season. We have a traditional yearly trek to The Big Red Barn in Santaquin, UT. They have the best apples ever! We thought for sure we'd miss out on it this year but, we got to stop there on our way home from my Grandma's funeral. We just ate the last apple today. I'm telling you they are the best. They grow the best Gala apples and we look forward to them every year. We did discover Gilcrease Orchards here in Las Vegas though. I got to go there with Ashlie's preschool yesterday. It is like a four acre garden where you can go and pick what you want. I was very happy! The kids got to roam around in the pumpkin patch and pick out their very own. I found some zuchinni, acorn squash and pears. They also press their own apple cider. For now I am content to enjoy the cooling weather and my fresh garden veggies. (I will post pics of the kids hunting in the "punkin patch")
