We decided to do something a little different today. We had seen signs pointing down Dingleberry Lane for Wilson's Orchard. People had also told us it was a lot of fun, so we decided to head there this morning. Wally was super excited to go to an apple farm. When we got there, there was a tractor pulling a wagon ready to head out into the orchard. Once Wally saw the tractor, apples didn't seem so exciting. But,we got a couple baskets and headed down the hill with a promise of a wagon ride after apple picking.
We were kinda late for getting some of the apples, so we had to look really hard to find them, and use some creative apple picking techniques...
Especially so that Wally could pick them.
But Wally managed to pick a bucket full. We got some that are good for eating, and some that are good for cooking. Guess I better get busy in the kitchen again!
We all got carmel apples as a "special treat." As predicted, Wally ate most of the carmel off of his apple, and left the apple untouched.
It was a beautiful day for roaming the hills of an orchard. We did get a tractor ride back to the barn after picking our apples. Pretty sure Wally thought that was the best part. He is such a boy when it comes to loud things that move. We will definitely head to the orchard next year for more fun and apples. I learned yesterday that next year we likely won't get many pears on our tree, so I'll need something to keep me busy!
How fun! I went to an apple/grape orchard in Minnesota with Jenna, Amy and Ryan once - it was a perfect way to spend a fall afternoon. We were there after a frost so none of the apples were any good but Jenna sure enjoyed looking at all the bugs/ants crawling in the apples.
