Apple Picking!

So we have talked about going apple picking for years and never have....until today!

We found this place and even though it was a drive all the way to DeKalb, it was so much fun and such a beautiful day.  It was totally crowded but there was lots for the kids to do.

For one, they got to play on tractors.

There were barns with slides.

A spiderweb net.

Even a kid maze that Colton did with us.

They found their way through the maze all by themselves.

Colton had fun driving the tractor too.

We got to play in a silo filled with corn kernels. 

We climbed through pipes.

And even slid down pipes.

There was  hay to play and climb on.

And even have fun jumping off of.

They had the cutest little apple train.

Colton had fun chilling in the wagon despite his little accident he had at church this morning.

Then it was time to go apple picking.  We bought our bags and headed to the orchard.  There were so many rows of apples and of all kinds.

The kids wanted green apples first.

They had so much fun picking them off the tree.  Everyone even ate an apple as we searched for more.

Evie stayed by her pal Colton and helped him too.

We really had a great time and I already pinned all kinds of apple recipes from Pinterest that I will attempt to make.  Some of the easy ones include an apple dump cake, apple muffins, and homemade applesauce.  And of course we already have our caramel dip ready.

Presley thought he was the bomb because he filled his bag all by himself!

The name of the place was Jonamac Orchard.  We waited in a long line to go to the bakery to get some apple cider donuts.  Yum!

Totally fun and worth the drive. We had a applicious day!

Disney on Ice!

Last weekend (yes, I am behind) we went to Disney on Ice!

We have been before and really love the shows.  I always loved going as a kid too.  Grandpa wasn't feeling well so we asked Gracie's BFF Jackie if she wanted to come along.  The girls grabbed their princess dresses and out the door we went.  

And Presley was there too.  He was excited and as much as I tried to get him to dress in costume (Buzz Lightyear, Woody, even a Marvel character) he was just too cool for that.

It was a great show and it was all about the princesses and heroes.  So we saw Ariel and Eric, Snow White and Prince Charming, Sleeping Beauty and the Prince, Cinderella and the Prince, Tiana, Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, and Belle and the Beast.  And of course Mickey and Minnie were there too!

The show was super cute as it always is with Disney and the kids loved it.  They are doing a Frozen on Ice in winter which would be great to see but I think the kids are more excited next fall when the Marvel show comes to town!  Daddy is pretty stoked too!
