Since before I can even remember, my family has a Fall tradition of gathering whomever is around--sometimes this has included friends, exchange students, grandparents, etc.--and taking a drive devoted to all things autumn that my parents titled,
The Apple Ride. Here are some pictures of previous years...

| Our neighbor, Sarah (holding Nathan), went with us in 1980, and we worked all day on making a gigantic sign. |

2012--This year, Liam and I were able to join in the fun again. Hopefully, next year, Jon and the girls can come, too. We stopped at all our usual spots--Twiehoff's for pumpkins, squash, etc., Trumps Orchard for apples, Nerstrand Woods for hiking in the spendid Fall colors, and Northfield for dinner. It was another fun year of Apple Riding!
