The One With the Forced Fun Family Fall Fest

 

Yesterday, we decided to celebrate the first day of fall - or have a Mabon fest - as Emmie likes to put it.

 That meant the entire day was dedicated to fall fun. This included:

 

1. Bringing in food from Nick and Andy's.

2. Apple picking at Russell's Orchard, which was fun because we got on the back part of the orchard for the first time ever.

3. Emmie made her epic hot apple cider and showed Kiff how to make it.

4. Emmie hosted a Mabon fall festivity and writing moment.

5. We went to Jimmy's steakhouse. YUM!

6. We watched It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and Curious George Boo Fest.

7. Emmie and I watched The Glenn Miller Story.
