Apple Orchards Part 2 - Apple Jack's Orchards

We just can't get enough of apple orchards in the fall. They have so many fun things to do and I love being outside in the sunny fall weather. Since our trip to Minnetonka Orchards was kind of cold, rainy and quick, we made another trip out to Apple Jack's with Nana and Papa to pick up some pumpkins and experience more apple picking.


We picked out a wagon full of pumpkins first.


Then it was on to the pony rides.  Reagan made sure she got on the little tiny one: Chip.


Dylan got to ride the ponies this time too!  He got Big Red, who I was surprised to learn was actually 26 years old!


The goats are always a hit.


This trip to the orchards was the opposite of our first trip.  Reagan did not want her picture taken at all.


Papa and Dylan.




Of course, the kids needed to ride the cow train.  Luckily, mom didn't have to take a bumpy ride this year!


The apples were pretty picked over, but our hayride driver gave us directions on where to still find apples.  We found the small patch of trees past the pumpkin patch, away from the main apple tree rows and filled up two small bags.


Most of the good apples were pretty high up so it was a good thing Daddy was able to lift the kiddos up.  Mommy would have had to climb the tree to get anything!



After the apple picking, Reagan went to jump on the giant pillow while Dylan enjoyed one last cow ride.


We couldn't leave without our souvenir pumpkin cup.


Happy fall!

Love the name of Reagan's cow :) Looks like a fun outing. I'm sad about missing the end of fall in MN. Hopefully there are still some leaves on the trees when I get home.
