Apple Orchard

My Family and I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at the Apple Orchard with my sister and nephew.

It was a gorgeous Fall afternoon, and a busy-busy day at the orchard.

I know there must be so many fun orchards in Minnesota, 

but year after year we go to Apple Jack Orchards in Delano, and just love it!

What are some other great orchards that you would recommend?

Pumpkin picking

and apple eating,

mmmmmm love the honeycrisp's!

checking out the animals

Olivia had no fear of the goats, she had so much fun feeding them kernels of corn.

I was the one that got nervous that they were going to nip her...but they didn't!

My sister and nephew down by the Crow River,

such a beautiful day.

well, this photos is completely over exposed, and not so clear,

but it's what we got, of me and my hubby (and growing baby), so I love it!

 We enjoyed the corn maze, some apple doughnut's and sampled a variety of apples,

while at the orchard.  Bought a delicious bag of Honeycrisp's

and came home and made a pan of apple-crisp.

We completed our wonderful weekend visiting with a houseful of friends.
