Fall is here and we are loving the weather. Today was a PERFECT day so we spent every minute possible outside. We had a fun filled day of activities. We first headed to the farmers market so I could get some green beans to make baby food and then we headed out of town. My dad had told us of a John Deere demo day over in Millville, MN so that was our next stop. We test drove gators and did some off roading with them. Unfortunately (or fortunately) there are no pictures of that. I think we have decided on which gator we want when we move to the new house in November.
Our next stop was an apple orchard. What a beautiful day for it. The orchard that we stopped at not only had apples but also had pumpkins, hay rides and animals. Parker had a great time playing in the hay and the pumpkins.
There were lots of fun activities to do. We looked at the goats, chickens and the bunnies. We even measured Parker on the "How Tall this Fall" chart.
After we got done with all the activities it was time to start picking some apples. There were quite a few different kinds but we knew exactly which ones we wanted. We ended up with some Galas, Cortland's and Honeygold's. All of them are great for baking, eating and making baby food. Parker thoroughly enjoyed the picking of the apples.
They had rows upon rows of apples trees. The probably had over fifteen different varieties that you could pick. The trees were just full of apples and there were plenty of good ones to pick.
We had a great time at the apple orchard and is definitely something that we will continue to do each year with Parker. It will be fun next fall when he is up and running around, wanting to pick all of his own apples. Hope everyone has a great fall!
