On Sunday we spent the day as a family - first church and then straight to Mountain Orchards. The drive there is a beautiful one, beside the Rideau River most of the way. Once we got the there kids went crazy and couldn't figure out where they were going to go first. So, Mom and Dad decided for them . . . the Corn Maze! Last year the kids and I went out here and we failed the maze so we thought that with Daddy's help we could do it. So, we started out running (or at least the kids did)
Navia started getting a bit tired and we still weren't at the end and had no idea where the exit was . . . so . . . we did what we did last year - found the side of the maze and made our own way out - oops! So Daddy, next year you better figure this out because we are wanting to use the exit at least once!!!
After the maze we walked to the orchard and each child grabbed a bag to fill. Emma and Kaleb found a ladder and brought it to help us grab the apples they couldn't reach otherwise.
But, when the ladder was in use by someone, the other person could always use Daddy as a ladder - hehehe!
Once the bags were full to the top - almost overflowing - we went and sat down to eat a few and wait for the wagon ride back to the entrance. The kids couldn't wait to get back there because there was "hay - jumping" . . . they all said that it was nothing like at Grampa McGifford's, but at least here they could wreck all the bales - so Grampa . . . beware . . . next time down the kids just might be going a bit crazier on your bales!!!
Taking a break to eat a couple apples and sit down before we get on the wagon and go "hay jumping".
My little girl is getting all big on me!!!
And my boy . . . well . . . he's getting big too!!!
Attempting a family picture on the wagon . . . we're all there . . . if you look closely on the right you'll see Emma's forehead and eye (hehehe!)
And now to the hay-jumping!!!
