The Apple Orchard

Our favorite apple orchard opened this weekend, so we decided to take a drive with the kids and welcome in fall.....kinda.  Still not ready for summer to be over, but given it's only been in the 60s the last few days, I think it's safe to say summer is over and fall is moving in!

Anyway, we all had a great time at the orchard.  It wasn't very busy, so we got to do all the fun stuff: sit on the tractors, climb the hay hill, go through the corn maze, play on the train and swing set, take a hay ride, pet the pony and goats, and of course have some yummy apple donuts and fresh apple cider.  We walked away with a peck of apples. Don't have any idea what that means, other than it's a really big bag. I promised Griff an apple pie, so I think I'll be doing that sometime in the next couple of days.  Then we'll have plenty left over for some other goodies.

Enjoy the pictures. Tomorrow we are off to the Twins game, provided it doesn't rain.  Think they'll let us in if we are all wearing our Sox hats? Humm...
