Apple Orchard

Today was our second annual trip to Center Grove Apple Orchard! Last year the day we went was the same day we found out I was pregnant with Caden, so it was fun to go back a year later with him.

It is a rare occurrence to tire Ethan out, but today I succeeded! He ran, jumped and played hard for 3 1/2 hours. When both boys melted down at the same time that's when I knew we were done. The melt down came before I had a chance to pick any apples, but that's okay, we had so much fun playing at the farm.



There is nothing like swimming in a pool of corn.


Caden still needs some corn swimming lessons!

Ethan loved the farm animals.

There were 2 horses, a "daddy" and a "mommy" according to Ethan. He kept yelling out, "hi mommy," to the horse which I didn't appreciate a ton.

We liked exploring the 3 little pigs village.



We just needed a dunce cap to complete our visit to the little one room school house.

We sipped at the Mad Hatter's tea party.

And bounced on a pillow of air.

My favorite part was this awesome slide that you ride down in a sled.

We had such a fun day! I got a little sad realizing we won't be here next fall to have our third annual trip, I'm thinking only in Iowa will we ever find a swimming pool of corn!
