Sunday in the Fall

What to do on a Sunday in the Fall........Well we got up at 6:30am packed the kids for the day, it was 39 degrees when we left the house. We drove to Grandma and Grandpa Bacho's picked them up and the seven of us went to the mountains. We went to Stepp Farms in what is considered Apple Valley. It is a huge Orchard but they also had a small vineyard and pumpkin patch.

As we walked through the orchard trying to find the right apples for baking we ending up finding the stables and the horses were out in the field near the line of the orchard. We talked to the horses, fed them apples and made some new friends. The kids thought it was great they were about a foot from the horses.

After picking apples, Phil realized how close we were to Chimney Rock and wanted to eat our packed lunch near the river at the bottom of Chimney Rock. They have great little shops but they also have picnic tables near the river. The sky was so blue and cloudless it warmed up fast and made for a great lunch. The town was starting to really pick up and the kids still needed a nap so we left. Made it home before dinner. We had a great time. Enjoy the photos.
