Visit to the Apple Orchard with Grandma Ellyn's

This past weekend, the kids and I headed back to Rochester to celebrate my mom's birthday. My mom and the kids were ready for a full day at 8:20a, while I was struggling to get moving. We first headed to the farmer's market. After that on the way to the apple orchard, Grandma offered some sweets at Daube's bakery. So, we all stopped for donuts, except for Maren, who had an Obama cookie. With full bellies, we headed up to the orchard for a wagon ride, 2 corn mazes, apple, grape and pumpkin picking, and kitten holding.

After the orchard, we were supposed to head home for lunch, then to Oxbow zoo. After eating lunch, Grandma and me were pooped. We spent the afternoon relaxing and picking raspberries. We then picked up Grandma's birthday cake, dropped Connor off at his friend's Austin's for a reunion with his old classmates and then headed over to the Isaak's for good company and food. Brendan and Maren got to play with their friend, Jacob and his little brother, Jeepers (aka Grant). Grandma enjoyed a plethora of sports with Jim and Louise got to catch up with Carolyn. Fun was had by all. Then we headed home to crash!

Enjoy the pictures from the apple orchard. I have some from the birthday celebration coming!
