Apple Jack's Apple Orchard

Yesterday we went to Apple Jack's apple orchard which is west on hwy 55.  What a fun place!  There are so many different things to do there and it was a beautiful day.

Madelyn loves eating apples so it was perfect that you could sample many different kinds of apples.

There was a slide & petting zoo which Madelyn really enjoyed as well.

Madelyn was interested in the pony.  She wanted to go up and pet the pony.  We decided to see how she would do on a pony ride.  At first she screamed and screamed but then she liked it and at the end she didn't want to get off!  I wasn't sure how she would do since she usually loves to look at animals from afar but as soon as she gets close to them/they get close to her she freaks out.  We were so proud of her!

all done!

Then we measured Madelyn to see how tall she is.  She never stands still so these were the best we could get!

Then we were off to play in the corn pit!  Madelyn wasn't so sure at first so I sat in the pit next to her but by the end she was playing all by herself and loving it!

tired of riding in the wagon so Madelyn decided to walk

 We had a great time!  We will definitely go back next year.  As Madelyn gets older there will be more & more things for her to do.  She was wiped out as she napped all the way home and then slept for 2 hours once we got home (total 2.5 hours)!  I think that's a record.
