Apple Picking









We decided a good way to kick off Fall, besides football and chili, is to go to an Apple Farm! Our friends, the Larson's, joined us as we drove out to Honey Hill Farm. We had such a good time. To begin the day we had some of their homemade doughnuts......delicious! We then got to see the goats, horses, geese, chickens, baby chicks, and ducklings all before we started picking our apples. Grant just loved the live animals. Westarted off our journey by walking all through the apple trees. Lance enjoyed finding just the right apples, Grant enjoyed seeing all of the apples on the trees, (which he thought were just millions of balls) and I enjoyed snapping pictures and being outside. It really was a lot of fun. We walked further back on the farm and found the pumpkin patch. This was also fun because we grabbed a pumpkin and let Grant and his friend Jay play all around it. We all enjoyed watching the two boys play with their apples and the pumpkin. They were being adorable! We later jumped on the hay ride which was pulled by a tractor. Grant thought this was just amazing. He watched the tractor the whole time. He totally loved being on the hay ride. It took us to the Empire Apples, where we filled the rest of our apple bags. While over in the Empire area, we all ate an apple. They were pretty darn good. It felt pretty neat to just grab an apple of the tree and eat it! Talk about ORGANIC! Anyhow, the day was so much fun and really enjoyed the outing. We already decided it will surely be an annual event! Enjoy the pictures!
