Apple Orchard

A Fall tradition, we took the kids to the Apple Orchard & Cider Mill. It was a beautiful day and a lot of fun!

Graham enjoyed watching the cider being made.





I had the best view.  Every time I would look down at Macy, this is the expression she would give me.  It does not get any better than this!  Seriously!! 




Graham is 3 apples high this year (not measured in ft, by the way).


Graham loves pony rides, this one not being an exception, though it was rather short!


Pumpkin pictures with our pumpkins!!



Onto the apples picking!  Graham loves picking apples.  This year we only picked a few instead of a bag, since we prefer organic apples.  Next year, we're going to go to an organic orchard. 
  

Crunch!!  (You better believe we washed that sucker before we let him do this!)


More pumpkin pictures with our pumpkins!!




Like most children, Graham always picks the biggest pumpkin he lays eyes on!!

Too bad the big pumpkin already rotted!  We were looking forward to carving it and making seeds.  Fortunately we have a few others, so we're looking forward to that.  Graham also loves to paint a pumpkin, so we'll be doing that as well.

I love Fall in Michigan!!

Glad you all had a super day and everyone had fun.

Macy's expressions are priceless.

My years are running together so if I said this last year when you posted your pumpkin patch visit, I apologize.

Anyway, a couple of years ago we took my wife's grandfather with us to our local pumpkin patch. In the farmer's yard, next to the pumpkins for sale is an apple tree that grandpa took an interest to. While the little ones focused on pumpkins, grandpa started bagging apples.

We had to sneak over to the farmer's house and apologize and pay for grandpa's apple taking. The owner just laughed and said that the old WWII vet was welcome to as much of them as he wanted.

It was our most memorable pumpkin hunt.
