Butler's Orchard
Whenever we need a sniff of fresh air or a taste of the country, we head to our local orchard, Butler's Orchard. And this past week, I went with my MOPS group for a playdate.
We got to take a hayride out to the pumpkin patch. She may look likes she praying. But, she's just checking out her cool gloves.
The closest shot I got of the 2 of them.

It took Madeline a while to pick a pumpkin. She probably picked out about 15. But, she would usually just drop them back on the ground and find another one. But, I think we ended up with 3 pretty cute ones. (And now they have sharpie all over them because she wanted to draw jack-o-lantern faces on them.)
After the pumpkin patch, there were tons of other activities to do. This tire is part of a combine that was turned into a slide.
Madeline got to pump water into a tray to try to make the rubber ducky floats to the other side. It was "tricky tricky".
Madeline and Oliver both really wanted to play with the balls.
All aboard!

We never even made it up to the giant slides. We ended our morning in the John Deere bike and tractor park.
Madeline got pretty frustrated that she couldn't push the wheels around. So, I pushed her around the path several times.
On our way back to the car, we enjoyed some really yummy apples.
Oliver loves apples too, as long as he can hold onto it.
Before we drove away, we stopped in the general store and picked up some apples and some cider mulling spices and I think they totally make fall official!

It was such a fun day but I wish we could've hung out. I was busy keeping up with two 2nd graders though! Pretty tiring!
LOVE the picture of Oliver in the tire of the combine. You have such a great eye for unique backgrounds!
I love all these great pictures. So cute! And it looks like they had a great time.
