One Thing - 9/14/13

Our One Thing from today is a big thing! We spent a few hours this morning at Martin's Hillside Orchard. We have picked strawberries there every year since we have lived in Nebraska but had not gone during apple season until now.

Riding out to the Apples

We picked Honeycrisp, Gala, and Jonathan apples

After we were done picking, we spent awhile playing on all of the fun activities at the orchard.

Lydia couldn't take her eyes off the hay ride tractor.

"We're at the top of the world!"

Beautiful apple trees and corn fields!

Lydia LOVED the corn box! I couldn't get her to look up here either. 

She could have sat in this box all day. 

The boys looked forward to our hay ride all morning...and it didn't disappoint!

Lydia stood like this the whole ride

After our hay ride, we ate a picnic lunch. Then, we walked through a short corn maze before heading home. It was a beautiful morning spent with our family! 

Oh, and we came home with 25 lbs of apples! I already made an apple crisp for our church picnic tomorrow and one for us at home. YUM!
