Apple Orchard

Emma was a little unsure about the corn pool at first
 Yes, it has been awhile. Since my last post we have moved and the computer that i usually blog from is no longer working. I just figured out how to locate pictures on this computer, so hopefully these posts will be a little more routine. Yes, my 3 faithful followers should be excited :)

We are now living in Des Moines, Iowa! Iowa?! Yep, I never pictured myself here, but here we are! These pictures are from a day we spent at the apple orchard. May I say, Iowa knows how to do an apple orchard! We spent 5 1/2hrs there and never did anything twice. The kids loved it -and I think I loved it just as much as they did. Apple picking, pumpkin picking, tractor rides, corn pool, a corn maze scavenger hunt, a slide, a bouncing "pillow", animals, whimsical storybook sets (think Alice in Wonderland and the 3 little pigs), plus the crisp autumn weather that I have so missed over the years.

Everyone loved going down the slide on potato sacks

I think she tried to take a bit out of every apple that she got her hands on

The perfect pumpkins :)
