Pumpkin Patch & Apple Orchard

This last weekend, we had the opportunity to get out of town (way out of town) to go visit an apple orchard and pumpkin patch.  When I heard we were going to the apple orchard, I had visions in my head of walking down rows of apple trees, picking apples in a basket and buying a bunch of them.  This wasn't quite the case.  The farm this took place on was a functioning apple orchard, but they didn't allow you to walk through the trees.  They harvested the apples themselves, then made apple donuts, pie, cider, etc for you to purchase at the main building / store.

They also had a small pumpkin patch where you could buy a pumpkin.  One other thing they had that I wasn't expecting was a petting zoo.  I say 'zoo' pretty lightly, in the sense that they had a goat, donkey and small horse.  There might have been a couple other animals too, but that was pretty much it.  They had a small hay maze and were giving wagon rides every so often as well.  We didn't do the wagon, but Isaac did walk through the maze all on his own.

But, then again, we weren't really there for ourselves.  Granted, the apple donuts were AWESOME and the hot cider was really good too.  We really went there to take Isaac and let him play around with the pumpkins.  I thought I was going to get some sweet pictures of him picking apples off of the tree while Paige held him up, but no such luck.  Instead, we got some nice pictures of him playing with the pumpkins, looking at the animals and pretty much just walking around the entire farm.  It was a lot of fun watching him walk around so much and really have fun playing in the different areas.

We went with my wife's family and it was a lot of fun.  Granted, it took us about 1.5 ours, round trip, to drive and we really only spent about 45 min to an hour actually there, but it was totally worth it.  It was really a lot of fun watching Isaac walk around and really take in all of the new things that he hadn't had the opportunity to see yet.

Here are a few pictures that I got along the way.  They're not really touched up at all.  I really just wanted to get some regular pictures of him for once :-).

Let me know what you think.
