Day At The Orchard
This past Saturday, we met our friends Jenni and Dave and their cuties at a local orchard. Pumpkin picking, apple cider, donuts, wagon rides...and, of course that perfect fall weather. Ok, so I'm being a bit sarcastic about the weather. Can you believe it was almost 90 degrees here? And, we live in the Midwest where we're supposed to be bracing for winter. :)
Oh, but we had a BLAST! This orchard was just amazing...there were SO many fun things for the kids to do!
Both boys loved feeding the goats...
Max had great fun playing with trucks in a large dirt area...
Do you think Jack enjoyed his pony ride at all?
They each picked a pumpkin. We'll have fun carving them soon!
Jason and Jack climbed to the top of a huge hay stack.
And, Max had fun playing in the hay with Momma!
Oh, that sweet family time making memories together. Is there really anything better? It was such a great day. We left exhausted, and sunburned...but, Jack is still talking about all of the things we did. We might have to visit this orchard again soon. Mommy wants some more of their famous Pumpkin Cream Cheese donuts!
Ahhh...sounds like heaven to me!! Cider mills/apple orchards were one of the things we missed most about Michigan. We have fantasized about a trip to Uncle John's Cider Mill (heard of it?) for what seems like forever.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!! I can't wait until we can go somewhere that epitomizes fall, to us. :)
Those pictures are sooooooo cute! We can't wait to see all of you!
ReplyDeleteYou guys got some awesome pictures! Ditto, ditto, ditto to everything! BTW, the donuts were a hit with the Sunday school class. From your comment, I'm assuming we're on for Sunday? Let me know what time. I want to see the master carver at work!
ReplyDeleteoh, this looks and sounds like so much fun. i remember such trips with my kids when they were young. definitely memory maker times. glad you had such a good time.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful time--the pics are great! Max is getting so big...love you all!
ReplyDeleteWhat great fun! I love that the straw was interesting!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the carvings!
What fun!! We went to a festival over the weekend too. I will be sharing it later this week. Glad to know we weren't the only ones feeling the heat! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad your WVU are winning and are #8!! I will now keep a look out for them!! Don't you just love college football??? :) It really brings out a ton of fun!!
Blessings,
Yummy, those donuts sound so good! Loved the pictures! Looks like everyone had loads of fun! LOL, our weather is a bummer these days, too. We're in the 90's and I'm not liking it! Blah, LOL! So glad y'all had a good time!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great time. We had some friends visit from Chicago and went to the Post Farm in Hudsonville this past weekend. Although I can't say it was as fun with the weather. The kids were looking kind of droopy and hay was sticking to the suntan lotion.
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks like so much fun! Thanks for sharing the pictures. Your boys are just darling!
ReplyDeleteOh, Sar- I'm so glad you posted these. They did my heart good. It's neat to see how your family spends time together.
ReplyDeleteThat hay picture is seriously hilarious. His face! You've got some great pics here. Just stopping by from Amber's place.

ReplyDeleteOh what fun - and such cute pictures! It has been hot. It's supposed to be cooler tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThis weather is killer. It was so
ReplyDeleteHOT today! We're supposed to do the "Apple Festival" here in a couple of weeks, and I am so hoping for some fall weather so we can actually enjoy the warm drinks and hot food. But, guess what? No apples. They fell early this year and are already gone. Crazy.
Your guys are adorable - love the cheeks. And the picture on the pony was perfect! Definitely captured the moment.
Going to the pumpkin patch is one of my favorite fall events! Sounds like you had a perfect family day!
ReplyDeletePUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE DONUTS?!?! Those sound amazing! But even more awesome is your family day. There is NOTHING better.
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures.
What a wonderful time! I had hoped we'd find some pumpkins at the mountains - maybe this weekend, yep, we're going back, lol.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute pictures of your lil' men!!
Some really great pictures, Sarah! You have got some really cute men in your life. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteI just love this time of the year with all of the activities that go along with it.
Here's to cooler days. ;)
hey Sar, so cute! looks like a cool place. hope you're feeling well these days. love ya!
ReplyDeleteEw....Ah.....Oh......
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun. Looking at pictures like this makes me miss the United States---not that I ever went to a pumpkin farm or anything of that sort. (I was raised in Florida on the beach)
My children would LOVE to pick out pumpkins from a pumpkin patch!! Thank you for sharing those wonderful pictures. Your boys are too cute and the smile on the pony was precious!
I keep waffling back and forth about the name Max--one minute I like it and then the next minute I change my mind. Coming to your Blog and seeing Max and reading his name makes me like that name. :)
Such great shots! What a fun day.
ReplyDeleteNo, there is nothing better than making memories with family.
Whoa, such cute pictures! Looks like a whole lotta family fun! My favorite is the last picture with the handful of hay!
ReplyDeleteK

Awww....how cute! I miss our animals.
