Nothing says fall quite like a warm day spent outside at one of the local orchards. Apparently, it spoke to more than just us, because I have never seen the place quite so packed. We parked near the road. I have never even seen cars parked that far down before, and I've gone on school field trip days with preschool where every parent, grandparent and local relative troops out to join their preschooler!
We joined the masses on a warm Saturday afternoon (next time, we'll go just a few hours prior to closing, because the crowds got better as the day got later). Connor had his friend H over for the weekend. I tagged along with Xander to make sure he was playing nicely and following directions. All the boys seemed to have a big time.
Xander's favorite part is riding in the big and little "tires" (aka oversized pipe tubes on pipe rails).
The swings are fun, too, but he's getting a little big and the wood support beams strain a little with the heights he likes to achieve.
Connor and his friend H wanted to ride the pedal cars first.
Xander likes the smaller slides because there aren't any lines to wait in.
Almost as good as the big one.
He did wait a few times for the two-story slide, but was mostly content on the one-story slide.
Connor and his friend H taking a turn on the "tires" next.
On top of the corn maze (got to love that neon yellow outfit).
Xander inside the smaller "tube" again.
Walking on the spider web.
He likes the corn, but prefers when there are less kids (and certainly less wild kids, as a few apparently didn't have any parental supervision - or just really bad parental supervision).
Walking on the tires.
King of the world.
Connor and H seeing who can knock each other off the pillow pad.
And Mommy's reward for the day ... apple cinnamon doughnuts and fresh made Kettle Korn.
