Somehow I blinked and we made it through the end of 2020! I wanted to recap all the holiday fun we had over the past few months, and so we're kicking it off with Halloween 2020.
Since we're still in the middle of a global pandemic, and large gatherings are prohibited, we chose to skip trick or treating this year and gather with 2 other families who are in our little quarantine bubble. A few photos from the day of and evening of are below!
And just like that, another fall bucket list item has been crossed off our list. We headed up to Greenbluff for our annual trip to the patch and the boys had so much fun. I'll admit, I was a bit worried that COVID restrictions were going to take a lot of the fun out of our trip this year, but that was not the case at all.
The biggest change this year, and one I actually thought helped, was that we had to pre-purchase entry tickets for a specific time slot so they could control the crowds and number of people attending. This helped tremendously and we took full advantage of our 2 hour time slot. They had so many fun activities, including a trampoline, choo choo train, corn maze and more. We made our way to Harvest House, Hidden Acres Farm and Big Barn Brewing and managed to spend almost 5 hours up on the bluff. A day well spent for sure!
Every year there are a handful of activities we enjoy to kick off the best season of the year! We checked one of our bucket list this past weekend when we headed up to Greenbluff for Apple Picking. The smoke had finally cleared and the boys had lots of pent up energy so it was the perfect weekend to get all that out.
After apple picking, we headed home for chili, cornbread and homemade apple crisp! The perfect way to kick off the season. A few photos from our adventures below.
Another summer has come and gone and another Labor Day weekend at the island is over. Similar to the past several years we spent a few days saying goodbye to summer with family on Hat Island. The boys are getting bigger and so the fun times (and the fights, ha!) are getting bigger too.
While this summer we are primarily sticking close to home, we did get to enjoy a trip up to Greenbluff to pick cherries and peaches again this summer. COVID won't keep us down! A few photos from our day below:
