Jackson's Orchard



 This past week I was on Fall Break from work.  The last few days turned into a beautiful fall weekend.   It was the perfect time to go to the orchard to get apples.  Years ago you could actually go out into the orchard and pick your own apples, but I don't think they let you do that anymore.  They were having their annual pumpkin festival with lots of activities for the kids including face painting, sand art, and wagon rides to the pumpkin patch to pick out that perfect pumpkin.  We passed on all of the kiddie activities but I did manage to take a few pictures.

The Cider Slide
 There was a kid inside of this tire - walking and rolling the tire.
 
  It's a little hard to pick out, but this is a tractor activity center with slides coming down from the wagon.  I bet the grands would have loved it!
 These tires were partially buried and the kids could hop from one to another and walk around the whole circle.
 We bought 2 - 1/2 bushel bags of Red Delicious apples to freeze for this winter.

I can't believe I didn't even get a picture of a single pumpkin while we were there :-(
