Apple Orchard

This past weekend we headed out to enjoy the weather and get some apples.  We hit the Minnesota Harvest orchard and also Jim's Apple Farm (the big yellow barn off of 169).  It was soooo busy because the weather was perfect for spending time outside.  Ella didn't think it was that fun though - I think she was too caught up in all the people!  I've made my first apple pie of the season - YUM!

Later in the day, Ella & I went to pick out our pumpkins.  We headed to a little farm stand in Farmington that has baby farm animals.  Ella had a BLAST!  She's obsessed with those baby animals.  I got a few pictures, but I think a video would have been better.  She had so many funny things to say to the animals.

First things first - waving hello to the cows.  :)

Talking with the piggies.  These were her favorites that day, we spent a lot of time watching them eat their corn.

Ella on her way to see the goats.  When she reached the goat, she said Hi Goat - I Ella - HA! See the picture below where she's talking with the goat (I love how she gets crouched down to talk face to face!)

She wouldn't stand still for a picture with the pumpkins....

Happy pumpkin picking!
