I'm a person that really enjoys the change of seasons. I love snow. Throwing snowballs with the kids and building snowmen and snow forts can be some of the best moments you can ever spend with your children.
Spring offers flowers and wonderful weather and the mosquitos haven't had a chance to catch up with us. Spring BBQ's are the best.
Summer gives us a chance to take our vacations and forget about homework for a while.
But for me, Fall is the best time of year. The weather begins to cool off (giving us a break on our electricity bill), the leaves turn glorious colors, and....we get to go apple picking!
This year we went to Homestead Orchard in Woodstock, IL. They have great apples and the couple that owns the orchard is very nice.
Reigning the kids in can be difficult though. My daughter picks every apple she can get her hands on, regardless of it's size, color, smell, etc. Within minutes she has what feels like 500 lbs of apples. And if you have children you know what's coming next. That's right, she wants me to carry the bags.
My son on the other hand has his own technique. He won't be happy until he finds the perfect apple. Oh, wait! There it is at the very top of the tree. Dad, can you lift me up so I can grab it?
Great stuff. I love it and wouldn't have it any other way.
