hello sunday
last weekend we went to a cider mill! they have some nice trails in the woods to take kylo on a walk and of course so many apple trees! all i wanted that day was some hot apple cider – it’s my fav. it was really busy for a sunday afternoon, so the line was about a 30 minute wait. we tried to stay in line as long as possible, but kylo could not sit still. so unfortunately, i didn’t get the cider i wanted. going to a cider mill is one of the things on my bucket list this fall. i’m pretty sure it’s probably on everyone’s, but im legit just addicted to apple cider. here are a few other things on my fall bucket list:
- go to a pumpkin patch
- carve my pumpkin from the pumpkin patch
- make caramel apples
- halloween movie marathon
- have Β a halloween party
these are super basic things to do in the fall but they’re my favorite! i’ve actually never been to a pumpkin patch. i usually just buy my pumpkins are the grocery store. THIS YEAR THOUGH, i’m going! what’s on your fall bucket list? does anyone have any other fall traditions that might be different than most? i always wonder about those things!
life update
this weekend was incredibly busy! i had the honor of being in one of my best friend’s wedding and my parents were in town visiting! it was so so nice, but i am exhausted. i haven’t had this lazy of a day in months. i pretty much cuddled kylo ALL day. i only left to go to the dog park with him for some exercise. other than that, we took a nap and were super lazy. i had so many plans like making my halloween costume and cleaning up my apartment, but i really needed to just hang out and chill today. i watched the addams family to get into the fall spirit and im just really pleased with how relaxing today was.
i’m planning to make my halloween costume next weekend and i cannot wait to share it with you! making my halloween costume is one of my favorite parts about october. it’s WAY more fun to make them than it is to buy them. and generally, it’s cheaper too. this year dominic and i are actually doing a “couples costume”. we’ve never done that before and this i like our 4th (or 5th?) halloween together! so it’s going to be good.
any guesses as to what we will be? if you follow me on twitter, you may have Β pretty good guess. but i never gave away the costume we actually decided to go with. also, we might be two different things. does anyone do multiple costumes? i couldn’t decide 100% what i wanted to do, so i may have more than one costume. but you will see next week!
ok, i will stop rambling. without further adieu, here are a few photos from our trip to the cider mill! enjoy.

kylo loves when you throw leaves! he tries to catch them, it’s so cute.
someone had a little snack π if you follow me on instagram, you would have seen the cutest video of him snacking on apples. ugh, he’s so adorable!

The photos of you and the cider mill are amazing!! Very beautiful and the color of the leaves are just as wonderful. What camera was used if you donβt mind me asking? I also want to go to a pumpkin patch but with my 3 yrs old son. Apple cider is on my list as well and binge watching all of the Halloween movies!
courtneyraf says
thanks so much! i finally went to a pumpkin patch as well. i used a nike 40 to take the photos – it’s a pretty old camera, from like 2006 lol but it gets the job done!

I love Fall, but don’t get a tpn of it down here in Florida. I can’t wait for it to get a tad crisper so I can wear my sweaters π Hot Apple Cider is my favorite fall drink, too! I sometimes put a little apple-whiskey in it if the night is particularly chilly..which sometimes happens π
