Fall Tradition!

We've been going to Northwoods Orchard for years.  I looked back for some memories from our past visits to reminisce.  

Memories from our family blog: 2011   2012   2013   2014

2017:





2018: Nora's kindergarten class trip, which I chaperoned



2019: 




2020

We had another great visit this weekend.  I'm grateful we were able to be outside and still enjoy the orchard experience in the midst of the pandemic.  Jace loved exploring the pumpkins, even trying to rearrange them into a line (a common practice for him with any toys).  He also really enjoyed picking the eating apples!  He is a fruit monster!

I always find it funny when Jace tries on a mask.
He doesn't keep it on, but he likes to act like us.



I especially love when I catch a genuine smile from our oldest 😍

Checking out the animals and pumpkins
The roosters regularly crowed for Jace's enjoyment

This is Jace's "cheese" face when asked for a picture



Exploring the orchard and corn maze

Jace has never been a fan of shoulder rides

My guys 💗


We decided on a girls' pic too

Thankful for the jogging stroller that handled the rough terrain.
Nora wore down after lots of walking in the maze.

Nora was tense because there were bees on the flowers



Picking apples

Leaping/climbing to get said apple...

Getting help from Nora 😆

SO happy to have his own apple!


The apple on the left was eaten down to the remaining apple on the left in the car.
Yes, he consumed stem, core, and seeds.

A favorite parting shot of our favorite local orchard
