Our family made our first visit to the Country Apple Orchard just outside of Sioux Falls for the Harvest Festival. It was sort of a last minute thing that we hadn't really planned but had a great time. Since it was late apple season and early pumpkin season, the Harvest Festival has a lot of both. What a great way to spend a cool, gorgeous fall morning.
The kids took a bumpy, fast ride on a train pulled by Santa himself. They thought this was pretty fun!
Kadence loved her "little" apple that the boy dressed as a scarecrow gave her.
Landon ate part of his apple-because Kadence was eating hers...
We then hopped on for a tractor ride out to the apple orchard. There were several rides some pulled by tractor and some by beautiful horses.
Ryan and I had never been apple picking before so were were amazed by the amount of trees and apples in the orchard. So fun!
The kids each had their own little bags and picked their own apples. Landon knocked more on the ground then he picked and wouldn't take the ones off the ground even if he had just knocked it off. I guess that's what we get for telling him not to pick the ones up off the ground!
Kadence wanted all "little" apples. We had to persuade her to put some bigger ones in her bag.
Kadence was thoroughly entertained with her bag of apples most of the day. This is what she did with them right away after we got home. She stayed at the table and played with her "big" and "little" apples for a long time! It was okay until Landon started playing with his alongside her and they decided to "taste" several apples. Oh the joys. We had such a fun family day! I can't believe that we missed out on the apple orchard the first two Fall's in Sioux Falls!
