The Apple Orchard and Corn Festival

A trip home would not be complete without a visit to my grandparents home in Oakwood, Illinois. I had a very nice long weekend with them, and despite the India-like heat we went to the apple orchard and Urbana Corn Festival. Here are some photos from our excursions .

A lane of apple trees . . .

No, I am not on safari, but searching for apples at the orchard in August! Hence, why I have to look very hard.
Wait, Leslie (my cousin) finds one for the apple pie we will make tomorrow!
Ah, yes, the perfect apple!
We finish our bushel go inside to enjoy some fresh cider . . .
Now, we are off to the Urbana Corn Festival in the afternoon. Here Aunt Betsy poses as "corn." Ha-Ha!


We all buy some ears of corn to enjoy and watch people salsa. Then, it's off to Monical's Pizza for dinner!
