Fall Time in Oak Glen & BBQ

Oak Glen is just 10-minutes away from our house, yet we don't take advantage enough of it being so close. Now that it is apple picking season we wanted to go up and experience the crowds fun:-) We were so excited that my grandparents, my mom, Jim, and my mom's cousin Bob (from Alaska) were also able to go with us up there.

We walked through shopping and tasting all of the yummy bread, apples, and apple cider. When we had gone to the L.A. County Fair Makenna had fallen in love with the baskets that she used to harvest her crops and she found one in the store. She knew what it was for but, luckily she was a good listener and didn't try to put anything that she wasn't supposed to in the basket. My mom and Jim did however end up purchasing the basket for her and she absolutely loved it. Next we took Makenna and her basket down to the picnic area where she collected acorns and their "hats" along the way.


Luckily she "spilled" them before they had to come home with us:-) We then drove down to another area where we enjoyed eating apple danishes and picking up pies for the celebration of Toby and Scott's birthdays.

After Oak Glen we headed back down the hill and had a bbq at my mom and Jim's house. We have been craving shish kabobs for a while now and since we don't currently have a working barbeque at our house it was truly a treat. It was so nice to get to spend time with the family.
