A Day at the Apple Orchard

On a beautiful fall day what else is there to do, but go to the apple orchard? The sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. What a perfect family day to be outside. Now at this particular orchard they didn't allow you to pick your own apples for some reason, but we climbed the fence to get a few pictures. Both the kiddos accidently picked one, but we put it back and didn't steal them. Shh don't tell anyone. We did buy a bag of apples in the store at the end of the day.

Millie loved this pumpkin! She laughed and laughed because of its warts. Of course Millie found the donuts right away. In case you didn't know she loves donuts of any kimd. Hmm I wonder where she gets her sweet tooth. They also were serving apple cider slushies, and the most delicious caramel apples. The caramel was still warm, because we watched them dip it. Mmmmm, it was soooo good!!!

One of the highlights of the day was the petting zoo. Where we saw rams, goats, chickens, turkeys, ponies, and other animals.
Millie stood at the chicken pen for the longest time bocking at the chickens. It was hilarious!
Mr. Turkey strutting his stuff. Another highlight was feeding the goats. Levi and Millie were a little apprehensive, but Scott loved it.

Of course you can't pass up the pony ride. Even if it is at an absolutely ridiculous price.

The last item on the agenda was to pick pumpkins. Now this took a little while because there was a lot to choose from. The pumpkin patch was huge!
But both kiddos finally found a perfect one for them....only after about 30 minutes of searching.

What a great day!!!
We are trying to spend fun quality time with the kiddos right now, because we know that after little Miss Sophia arrive it is going to be a big adjustment period for us all.
