Apple Orchard

Today was my first trip to the Apple Orchard! Well, technically I went last year too, but I was still in mom's belly then, so it doesn't count. We headed way out to Kuiper's Family Farm with my friend Ella and here Mom and Dad (Shalee & Blake). First things first, we headed straight to the bakery to get some apple cider donuts! I was a little unsure of it at first, it just looks like a big brown blog, but once I got a little taste I was hooked!! Mmmmm!!!

We found a nice little spot in the shade on a picnic bench and settled in for a chow down. It was amazing!

Everyone had a great time hanging out and eating donuts.we could have easily just had donuts and gone home. But of course, there are a million other things to do! First, we all got measured...

Then we went across the street to the pumpkin farm. They had so much to do over there... there was a petting zoo, a play ground, a "corn-box" - that's a sandbox filled with hard corn kernels instead of sand (and yes, it was kind of gross and I tried to eat a kernel and mom and dad freaked out, so I didn't last very long in there) - a train ride and a million other fun activities (that you had to pay for separately, after you paid to get in, naturally).

Then on our way out we went through the pumpkin patch! This was another half hour of picture taking mayhem, but it was worth it, Ella and I look pretty darn cute : )

What a day! I slept the whole way home and didn't make a peep. I wish we could go every weekend!
