Oh about a month ago we went out to Kuipers family farm orchard in Maple Park, IL. http://www.kuipersfamilyfarm.com/ It was a nice little afternoon trip with our friends. John & Katie and their two kids, Samantha and Everette, met us at the orchard and got some great apple picking accomplished. I think together we had about 5 lbs of apples to take home! On the way out to the apple orchard we got to take a hayride there. Alicia was all about watching the "big tractor" as the last one she rode was uncle Billy's little lawn mower tractor. I think she would have rather rode and drove the tractor than riding in the back of the wagon! We all got to pick our own apples which was pretty cool, I haven't done that in several years myself so it was a treat for all. Also at this orchard, they had a pumpkin farm. We didn't get to go out into the field and pick a pumpkin, but we did enough other activities there to keep the girls busy! Sam and Alicia enjoyed the hay maze, the corn bins, the farm themed playground and of course the petting zoo! The girls got to run around and play with the goats and pigs. It was pretty funny to watch them interact with the animals. At the end of our long afternoon, the girls finally got a chance to pick out a pumpkin to take home. The pumpkins even got a bath!
