A little Taste from the Apple Orchard






A couple of days ago, we got an invitation from some friends of ours to go to an apple orchard with them. I hesitated to go because of the dreary weather but we just bundled up and headed out. The orchard wasn't too far away, Cambridge, Iowa to be exact which is only about a half hour drive from our house. The Orchard had so many things to do there. We had a blast! There was a corn pit where the kids could jump and roll around in until their hearts content. There were all sorts of farm animals there and characters set up from kids favorite movies and nursery rhymes. Ethan experienced first hand what it would be like to be the "old woman who lived in a shoe" and one of the "three little pigs". Simon tagged right along and really like to giant jumping bean. We wrapped up our afternoon sliding down the monster slide and Ethan was able to go all by himself! It made me a little nervous but he handled it nicely! Simon and I went together and that was enough excitement for me. We bought some honey crisp apples on our way out and were so thrilled by how much fun we had that we bought a season pass! We can't wait to go with Thomas!
