Apple Orchard

The boys rode the cow train and Liam hated it! He came around the corner screaming and Luke apparently started crying when he turned around and saw his brother upset (according to the guy driving the train).

Hey Mom, there is something on my hands!

Last weekend we took the boys out to an apple and pumpkin orchard. They have some beautiful orchards each fall in Minnesota with animal petting areas, pony rides, a corn maze, wagon rides, and best of all...a bakery! We discussed picking apples and raspberries, but after seeing how much effort that would take to keep the boys within sight, carry the bucket of apples, pull the wagon, etc...we decided that buying the apples would be a lot easier. The boys loved the animals and even got to take their first pony rides. Liam took it quite seriously and held on to the saddle very tightly. Luke was a little tentative at first, but quickly warmed up to the idea. They were were quite exhausted after the trip and took about a three hour nap! Mission accomplished.
