Our favorite Orchard, Linvilla, holds various festivals throughout the year when fruit or vegetables are ripe and ready to pick. This weekend was the Apple Festival. Since dad's needed to study Stephanie and I took the kids. They had so much fun! They have wagons that you can use to put your apples in as you pick them. Kenna had a lot of fun being the one to pull the wagon. Being that she was the only kid that could walk made it an easy choice, but she felt like the chosen one anyway.
We chose red delicious to eat and Johny Gold to make apple cobbler with for FHE. They do a really nice thing, before you start picking they give you a sheet of paper that tell you which apples are best for what. Very helpful at least it is for me.
Kenna had fun picking the apples. When she would pick one she would assign it to a family member, if it was a big apple it was a "daddy" apple, medium ones were mine, and small ones were hers. They didn't have any Bryn apples because Bryn doesn't have teeth.
As you can see we got a good bunch of apples. We may be able to do Apple Cobbler a for dessert a few nights. I had dressed Bryn in a cute pair of overalls that had an apple on it and had wonderful plans to take her picture in the wagon full of apples but she chose to fall asleep so here is what I got instead
. After apple picking we headed over and got some lunch. Being the apple festival they had every kind of apple to try, and if it could be made with apples it was. They have different characters show up and perform for the kids. We saw Dora and Diego, as well as Elmo. Last year Kenna thought this was great, this year she was excited to watch the show but she was quick to realize that Dora and Diego were not the real McCoy and she was a little freaked out. She kept saying I don't want them to touch me. After I promised her that they wouldn't she was able to relax and have fun. Other activities that they have on festival days are, face painting, hayrides, pie eating contests, and pony rides. I gave her a choice of 1 and she picked a pony ride she was in heaven.
We then of course let her play on the play equipment that they have and feed some of the roosters. We really do love this place!

That looks way fun. I can almost smell the apple orchard when looking at the pictures.
I am so jealous. I love and miss that place.
