We checked out a local apple orchard in Collegeville today. It's a very small town attached to St. John's University and although quite small we all enjoyed the experience:)
They had a small petting zoo with lamas, goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, bunnies, and horses.
We couldn't pick the apples from the trees, but it was fun to show Svea what it was. She picked one up off the ground if that counts:)
Before we left the house Dan ran to church quick to tackle a quick task and Svea picked out her outfit herself! She was trying on all kinds of headbands with bows and flowers on them and was so proud. I slapped this one on her head on the way out of the car.
She had many questions today asking "what is that or that".
She was a little timid of the all of the scarecrows at first, but when we told her they only are there to scare birds then she was content with them!
There was a little fish pond with Coy swimming in it. I think she looks so big in these pictures, but I guess I say that just about every two month or so:) After seeing a few sights we headed to the little country store they had and bought apples, maple syrup, blackberry jelly, bbq sauce, and a spaghetti squash. I had a revelation today...did you know you make spaghetti squash with a spaghetti squash and I was making it with a butternut squash? Well, I was doing it wrong. I hope my "noodles" turn out better next time! Ha!
This piece of art/structure was along side the road on our way to the orchard. We thought it was so cool. It was a nice morning for us! Svea got out of the car and said, "There is no wind today"! Kieran did what he does best and enjoyed the ride and the sights and didn't complain. I am so thankful for easy going weekend days like these:)
