Apple Orchard

We went to the apple orchard today!  Shihata's Orchard outside of Prairie was having their Orchardfest today so we decided to check it out.  We've gone to this the past few years since it's always the weekend of Jackson's birthday.  They had some new things this year!

Like this box full of corn the kids could play in!  Jackson loved it!  I remember doing this in the corn bin growing up.  They had scoops and dump trucks the kids could play with.  Tristan had NO interest at all in getting in here, he preferred to watch.

There was also a big slide with a sand area at the end.  Jackson also loved the slide.  He didn't have too graceful of exits from it though, as you can see.  Tristan, again, didn't care much for this.  The slide was dark and quite big.  He preferred the animal area.  There was a horse, donkey, llama, goat, bunnies and a sheep.  He wasn't too excited to touch them but he sure did like to watch them.

 The boys played in the rope maze...

....and did a little teeter tottering...

All in all we had a good time!  We went for a tractor/wagon ride thru the orchard, which the boys thoroughly enjoyed.  Jackson really liked the caramel apple with sprinkles and everybody had some delicious apple slushie.  We also bought some apple syrup and apple cider, two family favorites!
