i always try to make a trip to an orchard in the fall with the girls. as much as we love boggio's, it's nice to get away to other places too if we can! so this year we decided to head up towards dekalb, to jonomac orchard in malta, il (don't worry, we've never heard of it either until now! lol!) what a nice place! the girls had a ton of fun!! and they have apple cider slushies.....yum!! all apple cider should be in the form of slushies!! haha!
the big slide! i think charlie could have stayed on this all day!
the giant bouncy pillow! these are awesome!! (and as you can see, the weather was a little more summer-like than fall! but i guess that's what happens in illinois!)
ah, the corn maze.....i could take them or leave them, but we usually do it anyway. here there were 2 halves, so we started with the first half. there were questions along the way letting us know we were going the right way and we did pretty good until about the 5th or 6th checkpoint and then it got a little hairy. the girls were tired, it was hot, we were lost. and then we found out there were maps! oops! guess we shoulda grabbed one of those! so we kinda followed some peeps with maps and nick managed to get us out of there! thank goodness!
the spider web!!
"i'll take you for a ride in my big green tractor"
yeeee-haw!!
the girls got to feed the animals.....
.....and then they got to go in their cages and pet them!
the giant chair!!
i can't remember what they were doing, but i'm guessing they were being some kind of animals! lol!
the apple launcher! neither of the girls wanted to try it so nick and i did! it was pretty cool! and not as easy as one might think! haha!
waiting to watch the giant pumpkin canon!
man, this thing shoots far!!! glad we were around to see it! it was neat!
and just before we left, the girls went for a ride on the apple barrel train!
what a fun day!! i can't wait til next year!!
