Apple picking
Oct. 9th, 2016 08:42 pmWe took ARR apple picking yesterday. Actually, the place we went, Alstede Farms, has everything picking. At the moment, they've got like 15 varieties of apples, pumpkins, multiple squashes, squash blossoms, sunflowers, eggplant, tomatoes, raspberries, potatoes, peppers, currants, and I think the tail ends of one or two other vegetables. I also saw peach trees, strawberry and blueberry bushes, asparagus, and more. Let's just say that the hayride to get out to the fields ended up being somewhat longer than anticipated. Huge farm.
They also had a ton of kids' activities. We just got him a wristband. There was a haybale mountain, bouncy castles, pony rides, assorted animals to feed and pet, a little train ride, corn tunnels, not one but two corn mazes (the kind where they don't let you go in without a map, because otherwise you'll be in there for days), and the Corn Kingdom, which turned out to be a shed full of corn and trucks. He spent more time in the Corn Kingdom than basically anything else. He also rubbed fistfuls of corn into his hair for Reasons, which resulted in a bath with multiple shampooings and probably a solid ten minutes of me going over his scalp with a comb. He's still shedding bits. I'm going to warn his teachers that he doesn't have lice, he has corn.
He also had an awesome time. (Except for the last 10 minutes of the hayride. But I think we can all agree that was just too much hayride.) Both of my boys, little and big, were unconscious most of the way home.
We have so many apples. And pumpkins. But then, it's decorative gourd season, yo.
