Another trip to the orchard...

Did I mention I love our local orchard? 

This would be Case's third trip this year...

1) Nanny & Case's special birthday outing

2) Little Blessings Field Trip

3) Mommy, Daddy, Case & Rhett Trip

You won't hear any complaining from anybody here though! 

Okay, I lied this Saturday I have only one complaint. 

It was PACKED! 

I have to admit, I love when we go on a week day morning, and there aren't lines out the door. 

However, we still had so much fun despite the crowds. 

It was full of energy, and everyone seemed to be having as much fun as we were.

We took another hayride, this time with Daddy.

I swear I could ride all day.

Waiting for the tractor...

The boys love it.

A fun family Saturday afternoon! 

Love spending days with all three of my boys.

Field Trip

Ever since the Parent Orientation for Little Blessings Preschool, 

we were so excited about the future field trips that were mentioned. 

As fall approached, 

we found out our class would be visiting Boyd Orchard. 

If you know me, you know I'm a teeny bit obsessed with that place. 

So, you can imagine my excitement. 

Also super excited, that Mommy & Rhett could tag along on Case's first field trip!

I mean, seriously. 

Can you tell why we make several a few trips here every fall?

First on the agenda, a hay ride!
Along with doughnuts and apple cider.
Mmm.

...
 Next was pumpkin pickin' 

 ...
 Animal pettin' 

& some playground playin'

We had an amazing time with our amazing teachers & friends,
 and I loved hanging out
with the wonderful Momma's too.

Awesome day.

The Orchard

Fall is fast becoming my new favorite season. I have always been a summer girl, but for the last few years something about this season always gets to me. The leaves changing colors, the crisp cool mornings, boots and scarfs, fall festivals and of course trips to the orchard!

Sally came up for a Fall Festival, and then we headed out to Boyd's Orchard that evening. One of my favorite places, especially this time of year. 

We fed the cute little goats, and this year Case was old enough to really enjoy the play area they have set up for the kids. This was Rhett's first time out at the orchard, he loved crawling around through the pumpkins, and afterward took everything in from his seat in the stroller ;) 

 

Visiting the Orchard

Fall has officially fallen upon us, and it has been absolutely gorgeous. The breathtaking colors in the trees, the crisp clean feel in the air, and we have had some beautiful weather, days meant to be spent in a beautiful orchard.

We had a stretch there where it rained almost an entire week, and I told Matt I'd love to go to our local Boyd's Orchard the first day it was pretty again, and we did! However, everyone had the same idea I had, so it was a little bit packed, but we still had fun, especially Case man. He absolutely loved it.

Boyd's orchard is so wonderful, it has a quaint, charming store where you can buy freshly picked apples, and charming country decor.  It has all sorts of pumpkins and gourds out front (perfect for a photo shoot :) and it has an adorable playground, hay stacked high for little ones to climb, hay rides, beautiful orchards, and Case's favorite ... the petting zoo.

When it was time to leave the animals, Case let us know (quite clearly I might add ;) that he did NOT want to leave his new friends!

Well, we had so much fun at the orchard, I brought Case back the following week during the day. I was hoping the crowd would be no where to be found, and I was right. We had a very leisurely visit, and Case had another fun day running around the petting zoo visiting all of his friends.

We've actually been back a third time now, I think they're going to know our names before too long! :)
