They have a small apple orchard up there with tiny trees so kids can go and pick apples. I have wanted to take Zach there since he was little, but never have made the trip for one reason or another. He loves apples...literally eats 1-2 a day. So, I knew it would be a hit. He loves to drive and really I couldn't see what he wouldn't like about it. Erin isn't as thrilled in the car as he is and I was a bit worried how she would do in an orchard, but I it was great timing with my mom and dad here to go.
The weather here has been so warm, so it was nice to get up to the mountains and it was about 70...a nice break. The orchard was great and we had a fun trip. The kids loved picking the apples and Erin tested several. We walked and filled our baskets...lots of fun. Then we got to the back and got a big treat...four beautiful horses behind a fence...we were told we could feed them, so we did. I used to ride when I was younger, so I love any chance to be near a horse. The kids had never been that close to one and got to pet them and feed them...it was awesome. Zach was so excited. Then out of no where a donkey appeared....loudest damn thing...HEE HAW! HEE HAW! If Zach had just not relieved himself in the field I swear he would have wet himself right there. It was great to see him laugh out loud and smile with pure delight of the whole day. We just had a nice trip. It was great to get to see a new place, do something different and have a new adventure. I added tons of photos from our day...ENJOY!
I am so glad we had the chance to do this with my mom and dad here and to enjoy the beautiful weather. The kids loved it and I did too. I have tons more I want to write about, but will have to wait, it is late and I am tired. More tomorrow on my political thoughts, my dinner out, and cute kids comments...

Looks like a great time! Enjoy the rest of your time with your parents!
Fun photos! And again, so jealous! I had wanted to get to St. Louis in time to do both the pumpkin patch and apple orchards with Chris and Aspen...they've done neither! Maybe next year. Looks like you guys had a really great time. My favorite is the donkey! :)
I love my family. Although I wasn't there in person, the donkey was standing in my place... ;)
