My Favorite Fall Activity

My favorite fall activity would definitely have to be me and my family's annual visit to the patterson fruit farm. Every year we visit and eat a lot of the delicious apples that they just give away to you. When we arrive we buy our wristbands and make sure we all have them on correctly. Once our wristbands are on we wait for the giant tractor to come around and pick us up and take us to the festival. We sit in the hay in the back of the tractor and talk about what we are going to do first and how much fun we are going to have. My favorite thing to do that I do first with my brothers is grab an apple and hook it to the chain. Without using my hands I try to take a big enough bite to pull it down before my brothers do. Most of the time I beat them but it is really fun to watch them try and get the apple in their mouth before I do. One of the activities that we love to participate in is the giant corn maze. I always try to get very far ahead of my brothers so that they cant find me. Eventually they realize that there is no way to find me and just have me follow thier voice so that we can be reunited. Out of all of the things that there is to do my little brother's favorite would have to be the enormous hay playground. there are slides, tubes, and a whole lot of hay!!! He has the greatest time and I love to watch him have such fun. Another thing that we love to do is slide down the enormous slide that takes forever to climb back to where it started. After we have all done the things that we want to do my mom takes us to the little gift shop that has all of the stuff that she loves. She gets multiple huge pitchers of apple cider, 2 large boxes of frsh apples, rock candy(one for each of us),and a special package of teabags that you heat up with apple cider to make a warm apple cider tea. I am not a big fan of the apple cider tea but I have to admit, the cider itself is really good. On our way home we fall asleep in the car and dream about the appley aroma that was previously filling our noses. We cant wait to come back next year. That is why the patterson fruit farm is my favorite fall activity.
