The particular orchard that we visited is only open on the weekends and for groups during the week. As of last week I wasn't sure we would have enough people but I must say everyone rallied and I think we had between 50-60 moms and kids come.
I don't know why but I always think kids will last longer doing activities than they actually do. I know all the kids thought it was pretty cool to pick apples and pears off the tree. We had access to several wagons which came in pretty handy hauling the bags back to our cars. My 3 year old decided she wanted to pull her own wagon through the orchard. I may have been that "mean" mom and made her pull it. Luckily we have nice friends and one of the other moms helped her out. I was pulling my own wagon with kids in it.
After 30-4 minutes of wandering through the orchard we headed back for lunch. I don't think many of the kids actually ate. They were having too much fun playing with sticks, yelling and getting unbelievably dirty.
Everyone had a great time and I can't wait to go back next year.
