I took Madelyn to a farm in Kinderhook, NY called Samascott Orchards. It is a beautiful farm. There was no crowds and therefore, no people in the background of this beautiful setting to distract.
When we arrived to the farm they come up to your car and hand you a map to the orchard. You take your car right up to the Pumpkin Patch, or Apples if that is what you are there for. On your way out they check your car and weigh whatever you want to purchase.
This is a "no frills" sort of farm. I mean there is no hay ride, petting zoo, or playgrounds, but if you are looking for picturesque, then this is the place. Madelyn and I were in and out of the orchard in about 20 minutes, but that was mostly because she thought it was funny to run away from me, and into any mud puddle she could find.
Fall is such a nostalgic time of the year for me. It remind me of growing up and all our trips to Fall Festivals and Pumpking Picking, and it also now remind me of our beautiful wedding 4 years ago on October 20th 2007, outside at Innisfree Garden. It also reminds me how much things have changed in our lives in these past 4 years, and how blessed we are for all we have.
Happy Fall to all of you that read this!
