Apples, Apples, Apples!!!!

Fall is here and what a great way to kick off the season than with a trip to the Apple Orchard!!!

On Monday a big group of our moms and their kids headed to Avalon Apple Orchard in Innisfil for a morning of fun!!! The kids were all excited as we waited for everyone to arrive and were super excited when they saw the big wagon that they would get to go for a ride on!

We all piled on the wagon, yes even us pregnant moms, and took off for a ride! Our first stop was the entrance to the natural trail through the cedar forest... and what hike this was!!! It was sunny and humid and we were not expected for the
long hike that our guide took us on, but the kids were excited, the moms had fun, and we all got our exercise in for the day (or week!!!).

Back on the wagon we all climbed for our next destination.... the Apple Orchard!!! Here we were all given bags to fill with yummy, fresh, organic Apples! The kids all ran wild picking apples and eating apples!

When we were done filling our bags we headed back to the wagon for our final ride back to the barn where we would all enjoy some fresh apple cider!!

The rain held off and a fun morning was had by all! We all went home with tummies full of apples, bags of apples for eating and baking and some great memories!!!

Fall is coming!!!

The summery days and fall nights are in full swing! The weather has been nicer in September than most of July and August, however I think we can all do with out the bees and hornets!!!

Even though the weather has been so summer like, we all know that fall is close! The leaves are changing all around us and the beautiful colours of fall are popping up!!! As much as we all enjoyed summer and are loving this warm weather, fall is a wonderful time of year to enjoy the outdoors as well!

Momstown has a ton of great activities planned to welcome and celebrate fall! Soon we will be heading off for a visit to the apple orchard for wagon rides and apple picking, making apple art and enjoying fall nature walks.

Our play groups are in full swing now and our moms and their children are making new friends and having new adventures.

September is proving to be a fantastic month!!!!

A beautiful long weekend....

....before routine begins again!!!
What a way to end the summer! A perfect long weekend with the perfect weather, sunny and warm!

We all waited a long time for some good summer weather that lasted more than a day or two. This last week and especially the long weekend brought us the perfect weather to enjoy time with family and friends.

But the labour day long weekend brings to an end the summer of spontaneous plans, weekends away and days lounging in a park or at the beach. For many, tomorrow means back to work, back to school and back to routine.

As much as I loved the summer time lazy days, I do look forward to routine again with the kids. Weekdays will mean early wake up times for me and the kids, making lunch for the oldest and getting her off to school, homework checking and planning dinners (eek!!).

Along with the start of school also bring the start of sports and other extra curricular activities. For those with young kids these activities usually take place during the day or on weekends.... for those of us with older kids these activities take place after school, and sometimes on the weekend.

This is where I find my I really feel the end of summer. My weeknights are filled with trips into the city to take my oldest to her baton lessons, 3 nights a week to be specific. Having a competitive athlete going to school, training 3 days a week and practicing at home is truly defines what it means to be back in a routine!

So now we move on to fall. And with fall and routine brings a whole new lot of momstown fun! Our September calendar is chock full of great activities for all our moms and kiddies. So as we return to routine be sure to get involved with all the things that are happening this month!!!

Welcome September!
