We spent one day touring to countryside around Belleville. It was such a beautiful fall day. The trees in Ontario turn the most amazing colours... we saw orange, purple, red and gold leaves. It was all so lovely. We went to an apple orchard and pumpkin patch. The kids fed some ducks there and saw some pot-bellied pigs. (I'm not sure what they have to do with apples and pumpkins, but still fun nonetheless) Each of the kids picked their very own apple from a tree and carried it around with them for quite some time (I think they were waiting to eat it until they washed it, but I never actually made that rule) After the orchard, we went to Lake Ontario and a town called Wellington. Again SO SO SO beautiful. There was a fabulous park and playstructure beside the lake and it was a great spot for some fun fall photos! With all the excitement over the playstructure, the kids forgot their cherished apples on a picnic table. They remembered once we got back in the van, so Daddy got and and checked EVERY picnic table in the park with no luck, some lucky chipmunks must have got them. The kids were devastated, and I mean really upset, almost irrationally so. After we stopped for lunch, we got back in the van and magically those "exact same apples" had turned up! Turns out Papa had rescued them from the table, or so Mark told the kids, and they believed it hook line and sinker. (Wow, I've never actually used that expression before!)
So here are only a few of the pictures I took that day.
Mark was back there holding Nicolie up
This truly was an amazing playstructure
