Apple Orchard!
On October 21st, a nice selection of pumpkins was brought to the center for individuals to see and purchase if they wished to. The pumpkins were from River View Veggie. Everyone really enjoyed being able to see the pumpkins since our yearly trip to their Pumpkin Patch was cancelled due to the cold and rainy weather that day!

We were able to take a trip to Apple Creek Orchard on October 23rd! They had some fun activities, yummy apple crisp for a snack, and individuals were able to pick some apples to take home. There were a lot of smiles and wonderful memories made at the orchard, especially with the wagon ride and their apple sling shot! We can't wait to go back next year!
