Apple Day at Maine Audubon is probably our favorite fall event. There are great activities for kids, and the setting is beautiful. Gracie helped make apple cider by throwing apples into the mill, and she had a crow (her selection!) painted on her face. She also climbed a tree and did some contra dancing with a friend. She and Tess colored paper-plate apples and did duck decoy puzzles together (after all, ‘duck’ is one of Tess’s favorite words!). To top it all off, we all walked down to the water to hang out and take in the vibrant fall colors. Oh, and we ate freshly picked local apples. Tess, in particular, loved that aspect of the event – she held onto her apple for the entire two hours we were there, and during the ride home. And she wasn’t very happy when I removed it from her iron grip so that she could eat lunch…
