Apple Orchard

 Visiting the Apple Orchard has been on my Fall List for the past few years but for one reason or another we could never make it out there.
So even though last weekend was super busy with Madi's birthday party we decided to go Sunday afternoon. 
 It wasn't very busy at all and there were lots of photo opportunities.
 I think all the pumpkins were Madi's favorite part.
 We found 5 pumpkins for the 5 year old birthday girl!
 Then we were off with our empty bucket ready to fill it up!
 Most of the pink lady apples had already been picked but we still had fun hunting for some!
 We found one . . .
 but it wasn't too good.
 Finding the first apple was like GOLD!
 She was so proud.
 She thought it was pretty neat to just pick the apple from the tree and take a bite!  I did too until a nice little worm greeted me at the core.  I was done at that point!
 My goal was for Madi to know where apples come from and that they don't come from the grocery store!
 More apples!
 She could barely carry them all!
 Just one more . . .
 Then it was picture taking time.
 Matt and I cracked up when she posed and out came that foot.  Just like she does at her dance class!
 Heading to buy some apples.
 While Daddy bought our apples we took some more pictures.
 Madi wanted a picture by the waterfall.
 And once she saw the dog she ran right over and asked if she could pet it. 
All in all, it was a fun experience and we have some fresh apples to enjoy at home this week.
