Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT)

"A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. THREE are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken."

Apple Orchard

We are absolutely spoiled with this amazing fall weather! This past weekend was so gorgeous and we spent a great deal of time outdoors soaking it in. Sunday we treated the kids to an afternoon at the Minnesota Harvest Apple Orchard in Jordan. They have such a quaint orchard with lots of activities including apple picking, wagon rides, live music, apple slingshots, a corn maze, pony rides and a petting zoo. Or should we say "biting zoo". The donkey decided Lindsey's fingers looked like a tasty snack (in addition to the other 4 children she nibbled on). A little drama since she pierced the skin on L's fingers but it's all good. The donkey was happy Taylor sacrificed the cob of corn she had grabbed from the corn maze. After she saw how hungry the donkey was, she gladly shared it. 

It was a perfect day and we now have a BIG bag of fresh apples to make caramel apples and apple pie and some pumpkins to carve & add to our Halloween decor outside.

Here are a few photos from our day but as always, feel free to check out our Shutterfly link for lots more. 

Happy Fall to all!
