Nice and early Monday morning, E & I decided to venture down to Woodstock, IL to check out All Seasons Apple Orchard. Emma was in a good mood, I wasn't feeling nauseated... it made sense to enjoy the sunshine while we can!

| Apparently almost napping in the car = a frown face once we get out. |
Right away, the kiddo found tons of stuff to climb on, jump on, grab at and throw.
 |
| This chair was a huge hit. |
 |
| Surprisingly, the kid is obsessed with the tractors. Seriously, I'm surprised. She ignored other stuff for the sake of the tractors. |
We had never been apple picking before and Emma absolutely loved it. Granted, she kept trying to pick up the ground apples or ones covered in bruises, but after a while she learned to go for low branches and pulllllll!
 |
| She dominated the fields |
Soon enough, she declared via tantrum that she was done with apples and ready to get back on the tractor to see the baby animals.
 |
| We rode solo back from the orchard. Apparently most people spend more than 10 minutes at a time picking apples. |
Did I mention baby animals???!??
We were excited to try the kitchen and do a little shopping, but then someone decided it was game-over time a little early and I decided I didn't have the energy to drag an unwilling two year old around.
This meant we also didn't get to go through the Scooby Doo corn maze (which was TOTALLY why I wanted to go down to this orchard!!). However, we're definitely going to have to head back down for another adventure this fall. Between the U-pick apples, pumpkin patch, corn maze, petting zoo and barnyard play area, we'd be crazy not to! All Seasons Apple Orchard is open daily through October.

Also, for my readers I have an opportunity for you to get 25% off the barnyard activity area, apple picking and combo admission on weekdays at All Seasons Apple Orchard. Click here!
