living the miller high life: the apple orchard.

It is so hard to believe a year has passed since we last visited the County Line Orchard (see post here: HERE, holy crap, he was so cute!) Henry and I decided to bring Darin & Aunt Kari along for the trip this time. Last time we went on a weekday and what a difference that makes versus a Sunday trip. The parking lot was full so we had to park in a massive field across the street. Of course it rained the day before and we had to drive Darin's car through mud & grass... one car even got stuck! Thankfully it was a nice, crisp fall day so the extra walking didn't bother anyone.

Our first adventure was on the tractor ride to the apple orchard. We didn't get to do this last time and Henry was pretty excited to ride behind the big red tractor. Once we got to the orchard, it was so nice and not nearly as busy as the other areas. I was excited to pick some apples (8 lbs total!) and even snagged a few Granny Smith this year. Henry also picked an apple and refused to let it go :)

We visited the animals again and he loved looking at the goats and feeding the miniature horses. The biggest hit on the farm were the plastic John Deere cars/tractors that he could climb in and out of 67 times. Pure joy, let me tell you.

The most popular food at the Orchard are the pumpkin donuts and the line to get a dozen of those babies was about 45 people long... so we decided not to wait (it was almost time for the Colts kickoff!). We did get some apple cider and apple cinnamon donuts and both were delicious. Henry loved the "pum-pums" and I'm sure the staff appreciated him rearranging them all. He showed us his muscles by carrying one, if not two, around :) He was not happy when we had to go, but thankfully we kept his half-eaten apple to distract him.

It looks like this might be an annual fall trip and I am completely ok with it... Henry definitely is too, as you can see by the pics :)
