Last Weekend in Apple Hill

Last weekend we took the kids up to Apple Hill (near Placerville) and had a great time checking out some of the gardens and orchards. We met my parents up there and ended the day at a cute little brewery where we let Max run around and play with the other kids while we all sat and had a beer on the lawn (I had the apple beer - yum!). Below are some pictures of our weekend excursion.

We stopped at a neat organic farm and Max ran around the garden for a while. He sure loved all of the flowers and did a good job of smelling them and not picking them. We've been working on the no picking thing for a while. . . it works most of the time!

This farm, and the whole surrounding Placerville area is just gorgeous this time of the year. We loved getting up there for the weekend.

More time exploring the pumpkin patch.

After we left the organic farm we went to an orchard that had a bunch of fun stuff for kids - animals to feed, a tire swing, old tractors to play on. . . Max had a ball and had to sit in every single tractor and pretend like he was driving.
