Fall Family Fun in Maine!

While there is no denying Maine summers are beautiful, my favorite season is without a doubt fall!! The leaves changing color, the crisp air, cozy sweaters, apple picking and baking, pumpkin patches and pumpkin everything.  Fall boat rides on a quiet bay, chilly morning runs, family hikes, local fairs, hot apple cider.. the list goes on!   Such a special season in this very special place.  As my husband says, the snow will be here before you know it, so take full advantage of this awesome weather and fun to be had.  Here a list of some of our favorite family events and activities in the area:

• Apple Picking (We love Orchard Hill Farm nearby, and Apple Acres Farm for an
  adventure, but here is a directory of Maine orchards)
