October Happenings

This October we did so many fun, local, Fall things. Nathan seems to be a pro at thinking up fun things to do on the weekends to keep us busy, and these are a few things that we have been doing lately...

We went to the Apple Harvest Festival near Gettysburg a few weekends ago. We got to have applesauce, apple cider, apple fritters, apple sausage, and about anything else with apples that you could want was there. Lathie even got to do a Johnny Appleseed craft!

Later that evening we carved the pumpkins we got last month. We've been so busy that we just now got around to it. I had never carved a pumpkin before, and this was Aletheia's first time as well, so we chose a simple pattern. She had a hard time not tasting the insides... :)

Last weekend we went to historic downtown Gettysburg and Nathan showed us all the shops and some of the sights near where he works. One of our stops was at a cupcake shop, where Aletheia got to pick her own Happy Birthday Cakes (what she calls any kind of cake or cupcake).

 On the way home, we passed a Farmer's Market that has pet deer. Nathan always passes them on his commute but has never stopped, but this time he did. We had never seen live deer so up-close before.
