Over this October break, which flew by extremely fast, I did some catching up with family, friends and shopping. While trying to catch up with my mom and sister on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, we decided to go to the local Apple Fest in a cute little historic town of Long Grove which is about 20 minutes away from my house. This was the 15th year of the fest and it was super hot out, which attributed to the fun time I had. Basically, there are a bunch of little shops within a block or two which you can walk around and buy anything from apple cider donuts to apple pies to apple lattes, etc. My favorite are the donuts. Me and my sister waited in line for a good half hour (in the scorching heat) just for a dozen. After that, we got fresh apple cider. Upon almost finishing it, I took the lid off and discovered a tiny bug in the cup and I almost puked. Unfortunately, I had to pass on the free face painting and was too big to go in the fire safety house. I wish I would have stayed longer to see a few bands play on one of the many stages set up. Next year I think my whole family will just go to an apple orchard in Wisconsin to get our own donuts and apples. This was fun, but there's nothing like climbing the tree yourself and eating apples that you picked yourself!
I didn't take any pictures myself at the fest, but that's kind of what the downtown area looks like. It's small and cute with little shops all in a row!
