Oak Glen is a mountain community that features apple orchards and pumpkin patches. Spending the afternoon there was a nice way to welcome autumn. I bundled Braden up in a thermal, long-sleeved shirt and beanie to prepare for our excursion. However, we were welcomed by extremely warm weather. This was a friendly reminder to us why we love California so much.
Braden's savored every bite of this Arkansas black apple. Who knew California grew such a wide variety of apples?!
I wish I had a picture of Matt when he was younger picking apples on his grandparent's orchards. He has so many wonderful memories of spending time on their farm.
Braden was playing hide and seek with us through the countless trees. 
Braden's always eager to lend his muscles to help his daddy.
By the end of our visit, Braden looked as if he had rolled around through the patches. The dirt that was covering him just displayed how much fun he had!
Braden has been looking forward to picking a pumpkin ever since he learned the word recently. He would walk around with one until he found another he liked better.
This photo depicts why mothers who live on orchards don't have to go to the gym.....
Braden didn't run out of energy all day!
