Last weekend we decided to be adventurous once again and headed up to Long Grove for the Apple Festival. At a recommendation from Logan's aunt Helen, we had previously driven there to see the rows of antique houses made into shops selling crafts, baked goods, candy, popcorn, ice cream, antiques, fine furniture and a bunch of other random household items. The Apple Festival was just another reason for us to hop into our lovely Elantra and experience the scenic suburbs of Chicago. Along the way, we saw trees turning the beautiful autumn colors and smelled the wonderfully fresh aroma of fall.The Apple Festival brought many vendors to Long Grove selling apples, of course, in all variations: bags of apples, apple cider, apple pie, caramel and other dipped apples, apple cider donuts and many more. Logan and I knew we had to bring some home with us - it was just a matter of deciding what looked the most delicious. I walked past the booths of shish-kabobs, ribs, grilled chicken, corn on the cob, and turkey legs and almost forgot about the apple delights we had come to see. I soon snapped out of it and we narrowed down our favorites to apple cider, a small caramel apple pie, apple cider donuts and a variety bag of apples.
Leah had so much fun at the Apple Festival that she snoozed all the way back home.

Man, that sounds heavenly! We miss fall. Right now I am catching whiffs of the apple oil aroma I bought from Bath and Body Works (on sale, of course). It's close, but not quite the real thing.
Hillary! Your baby is SO cute! (Brad is on the phone with Adam right now and told him you had a blog!) That's so cool that you are in Chicago- I love that city! I hope all is well (and when are you moving back to Texas??:)
