Erwin's Orchard and Cider Mill: Pumpkin Time!

Today was a beautiful Autumn day in Michigan. The weather was slightly warm, sunny with not a cloud in the skky. We decided that we would head over to Erwin's Orchard and Cider Mill to pick our pumpkins. It was a BLAST!

We took a ride on the wagon out past the apple orchards and were dropped off at the pumpkin patch. It was really busy at the mill with many kids playing in the hay maze, play area and petting zoo. Strangely enough, we were the only four people who were on the wagon at the time heading over to the pumpkin patch. After we made our selection, we waited in line and when the tractor came back, both wagons were full.

When we made it back to the mill, we had cider and (Pumpkin Spice) donuts at a picnic table by the kids play area. They were delicious! The kids had a great time jumping from one haystack to another in the hay maze, bounced around on the bouncy slide, and played in the play area. We were all pretty worn out by the time we left.

However, not too worn out to enjoy a nice time around the firepit in the backyard roasting marshmallows with our neighbor Susan and her nephew, Jack. It was a perfect way to end the day. Without further ado ... here are the pics!




I'm feeding bees honey!
