I Love Apple Hill

Last weekend was Apple Hill Day!! It was one of the best days ever!! I'm a huge fan of Apple Hill, have been since the first day I stepped out of the car there almost 20 years ago. It's a place full of special memories, good food (which we will discuss later), harvest all around you and wonderful smells, even the animals smell good there. This year I was introduced to a whole new level of wonderful-ness. I saw it through the eyes of my 2 year old. I got to see him enjoy all it had to offer, enjoy it with him and watch my extended family purely enjoy it with him as well. We all took turns spoiling Thomas in our own personal favorite Apple Hill ways!

The pumpkins, everyone's favorite!!


The "fishing hole" at High Hill, one of my favorite places to just sit. That's Thomas, Jared and Umple Ross watchin' for some fish.

Face Painting, always a favorite of mine! Thomas is still talking about the shark that the man painted on his face. He asks where it went and can tell you which cheek it was on.

A ride on a miniature horse, my mom's favorite (I don't think we ever got to ride one!!) She was thrilled to walk around the loop with Thomas. He wasn't too sure how he felt. You could tell he loved it, was a little nervous, but thought it was pretty cool. He wears his "cowboy" hat everyday and talks about the horses.

The tractor, all the boys like those!

The farm animals were one of Thomas favorite discoveries and a new one for all of us. I don't remember too many when we were growing up. I love that they are there now.

The hay maze, they are in the back. This was Auntie & Umples favorite thing to share with Thomas. He loved finding all the scarecrows and Umple helped him find all of the dead ends.

Fun was definitely had by all!!

Our happy boy!
