Faith Journey to Vietnam: at Martin's Hillside Orchard outside Ceresco #1

at Martin's Hillside Orchard outside Ceresco #1

Well, we've definitely had a busy Fall with orchards and Pumpkin patches. We started over at Ditmar's Orchard in September for the Hotair Balloon festival and apple picking. Then we went to Martin's Hillside Orchard the 1st of October for apple picking, pumpkin patch, and raspberry picking. Last night we were at Vala's since the kids were all free for AWANA night.

These pics are from Martin's Hillside Orchard.
