Well, no excuses. We did have a very busy summer with lots of family and friend activities. We didn't really get to spend much time in Ocean City. It almost seems like the summer just didn't happen.
But, that brings us to fall. An annual destination for our family is Linvilla Orchards in SE Pennsylvania. Linvilla has a huge "PumpkinLand" with activities for the kids, a country store with homemade baked goods and all sorts of fresh produce and flowers. Linvilla also has a very broad selection of locally made jellies, jams, chutneys, pickles and other jarred goodies.
Important for us is the apple orchards at Linvilla. Our trip starts there with an hour or so of picking apples. All varieties are represented, even some I've never heard of. With a large group of us (see the pics) it doesn't take long to fill three large boxes of apples. By the way, they are delicious.
Coming up, Halloween. So far, we have a Spiderman and a Minney Mouse planned among the grandchildren.
