Chudleigh's Apple Orchard...

Another fun-filled family outing. We've been doing a lot of activities on the weekends, that's for sure. We're basically taking advantage of the non-stinkin' hot fall days to actually get outside without burning or exposing Rose to way too much heat. Although this time, it turned out to be a little more rainy than we anticipated. It was our first trip to the Apple Orchard. We'd tried Chudleigh's products in the grocery store, but wanted to grab some fresh apples and a pie. We made sure to get in the pony ride and trip down the slide at the beginning in case we got rained out. We weren't able to actually pick in the orchard. There is a wagon ride that takes you out to the orchard and drops you off for at least 15 minutes, which wouldn't have worked with both the weather, and with Rose and the stroller. We settled, instead, for a pre-made 5lb bag of honeycrisp apples. Paige really wanted to pick the apples off the trees, but was ok with getting them in the store since it was a bit rainy outside.

Love this picture of Paige...

Put this one in to show her hair. Look how ringletty it gets when it's damp from the rain...

Pony ride right through the rows of apple trees...

This sign said you can rent these ponies out for parties...hmmm...maybe grandma and grandpa's back yard??.....

Rose didn't have the best time...she was tired and getting misted by the occasional rain falls. Her tray had a pool of water in it...

Pumpkins are out but we'll save that for the annual family pumpkin purchase at Springridge...

Slide with insanely steep ladder to get to the top...

Face painting...the apple seemed to be the most appropriate and best drawn option... The girls...too bad Rose isn't looking, but you can see her cute hat from the St. Albert farmer's market! And, cute sheep slippers from Marilyn!
