Johnny Appleseed

The last weekend in September we headed south to Afton Apple. We decided to go on Sunday because Brian and I were at our last Twins game of the season and it was a day game. We wanted to go on Saturday and then go to the game that evening, but they changed the game. It was misting all the way down and continued while we were there.

We certainly made the most of the wet conditions. The girls absolutely had a ball. We looked at the animals in the petting zoo first and swung on the horse swings first. Then we meandered down to the hay ride which brought us out to the apples. Brian thought we should start with the "Sweet 16s" and try to get a few "Honey Golds" on the way back. Unfortunately the "Honey Golds" were not open for picking, although that didn't stop Brian. Ally and him snuck into them and grabbed a couple:)

After we finished with the apples we went over to the raspberries. Gabby absolutely loved picking and of coarse eating the raspberries. When we finally decided to call it quits the girls were soaked from toes to knees. They both, including Mom and Dad, had a great time at the orchard. Gabby was asleep before we even hit the highway and Ally was also pooped.
