Apple Orchard time!

My latest craving is apples - it's not just a pregnancy thing though - it's a fall craving. Without fail, every fall, I crave apples!

Now that Ethan is a big boy, I decided to do something fun with him and took him to Kuiper's apple orchard out in Maple Park. We had a fun tractor ride out to the orchard (the ride itself was really short, but I'm sure it was more for the ride, than for any actual need), which Ethan loved - he waved and said hi to the tractor driver. He loved the apples and was a good boy about not picking up the apples on the ground, and only picking the apples from the tree that I told him to. Between the two of us, we ate 6 apples! After we were done apple picking, we went to the store and picked up some fudge and an apple spice donut - yum yum! Then Ethan got to sit on a tractor and play in the little play area.

We'll definitely be coming back soon and bringing Chris to reach all the good apples that were up high!

Here are the highlights from our fun day!

Here comes the tractor!
