Yikes!

Hungry Cows apparently love apples

Luke loved the chickens but I am not sure how much the chickens loved Luke!

September and October are usually beautiful in Minnesota.  They can be a mix of cold and rain, but in general the days are warm and sunny.  Thankfully, during Mimi's visit last week, we had some gorgeous afternoons and weekends.  We made another trek to one of our favorite orchards, Harvest Farm Orchard.  We thought last year would be our final time at this orchard because the dear, sweet owner passed away from pancreatic cancer last summer.  But, a local family purchased the orchard and they have kept the tradition going.  It is half petting zoo, half pumpkin and apple orchard.  There are chickens, goats, pigs, cows, rabbits, and even a peacock.  It is very hands on and the boys have always loved it.  If you look back and any previous September/October posts on the blog, you are sure to find trips to Harvest Farm Orchard.  The trip did not disappoint this year and we enjoyed the animals, playing with friends, riding a tractor, and playing outside games like tether ball and croquet.  So much fun that Finn was in bed by 7:30 pm!
