Apple orchard visit 🍎 🍏 🍎

Shecklets #1 and 3 spent the day with Aunt Larissa while Shecklets #2 and 4 went with Jake and me to the lake to help take out and wash down the dock. Larissa took them to the orchard where Grandma Patti works each fall.

Here are some of the latest β€œhow tall” stats for 2021.

Applesauce 2020 🍎🍏🍎🍏

I had a request from Shecklet #2 to make applesauce. My MIL gave us a bushel of apples from the orchard she works at every fall so I could fulfill his request.

I spent the morning chopping and now I have a very happy 12 year old. (And about half a bushel left for another batch later on.)

Annual Orchard Visit 2018

We made our annual trip to the orchard where Grandma Patti works every fall. We went through the corn maze, washed apples, ate apples, picked apples, and selected pumpkins. It was a great day!

Orchard 2017

Grandpa Dave went with us to the orchard where Grandma Patti works in the fall. It was a beautiful day and we had lots of fun, as usual!

After the orchard, we went back to Grandma and Grandpa’s house and the kids played outside and rode on the 4-wheeler.

Fall trip to the orchard

We took a trip to Jake’s parents’ house today and were able to enjoy the beautiful weather! Β The kids got to trick-or-treat at Grandma and Grandpa’s house and then we headed to the apple orchard where my mother-in-law works ever fall. Β The older three Littles loved checking out the animals, climbing the hay bales, playing on the wooden train, going for a tractor ride and navigating the corn maze. Β Little #4 wasn’t very enthralled with taking group photos with her siblings, but we tried.
