We had an absolute blast at the Apple Orchard on Saturday. Last year when all of the native Michiganders were raving about fall & fresh donuts & cider and picking apples, we didn't know what all the excitement was about. Then we took a trip to the orchards and fell in love ourselves. We decided to go back to the same one we visited last year as we had such a great experience there.
Ummmm, I have never tasted donuts like these. They were still warm & oh so delicious.
It was also gameday...OSU played at 3:30, and Aron was so excited to wear his new hat his dad gave him in prep for the big game. We now have an HD receiver...the best $30 we've spent in awhile. We get about 10 channels in HD for free...which means we get to watch football again!!
And sweet Judah...he slept through the whole experience.
Belle LOVED the wagon ride out to the middle of the orchard. 
After she took a taste of an apple, she said "Um, um, um. Tasty and so juicy."
And she insisted on wear this outfit to pick apples. I couldn't convince her otherwise.
Love this picture...for some reason it reminds me of the days when aron would take me to his grandparents farm.
The Jonathon Golds were by far our favorite.
Isabelle wanted to ride the ponies, but as usual, neither Aron or I had any cash on us. But then...Aron remembered he had tucked away the birthday money Great Grandma Howard had sent for Belle. Grandma saved the day!
Belle riding trigger.
Her expression says it all.
One more reason we LOVE, love fall!ejk

Too cute! Just love the pink tuttu and pink butt!
Oh, Erica, I have missed your sweet face. And Belle looks SO adorable in her glasses! Dave and I miss your family so much - we were just talking about how we want to visit again! You are always welcome in Goshen, too!!
That looks SO much better than cleaning out the garage ... which is what WE did Saturday.
Oy!
well i always thought pink tutus and apple picking went hand in hand :) looks like a great time. darc and i have been trying to think of when we can squeeze in our annual visit...even thought about pulling the kids from school to do this! (now that's a busy schedule, huh?)
and oh yes...there is nothing like a fresh warm orchard donut. i can taste it now.
love all of your photos. seeing the ones of you with judah and the apple trees lingering behind you reminds me of one i have of me with brookie in the bijorn at the orchard years ago. good times girl! great memories and traditions you and your family are building here in michigan.
it's been a while since i have been online to enjoy all of these great photos and posts...but must respond to your previous post too in that judah is certainly "smitten-worthy!"
such a beautiful family. love living life here with you guys.
oh my goodness, it looked like sooo much fun! The best part of fall! You look great too Erica! Love your little sling for Judah! Hope all is well! I always like catching up with you via your blog:) Love, Kara
I love the Apple picking outfit!
So glad you are finding ways to enjoy our Michigan. I absolutely love the last pic of Belle with the pumpkins. And mom, what was wrong with her outfit choice, it looks lovely in the pics HEHE! I am sure I would have tried to dissuade that outfit with my girls also.
