:PHOTOS: Country Apple Orchard

Last weekend, my mom, sister, Kaitlin and I went to Country Apple Orchard outside Harrisburg, SD. I thought we'd try something different this year since we've gone to Garrity's for several years in a row now for our pumpkin and apple picking.

Kaitlin made a friend right away...


It was kind of neat to watch them processing the apples inside the Country Store...if you've never had Honeycrisp apples before, you MUST try them. They are THE best!

We got a horse drawn hay ride out to the pumpkin patch.

Kaitlin had an apple on the way...she sure does love her apples.

She found her 'perfect' pumpkin.


Another ride...


They were holding a giant pumpkin contest. Now those are some huge pumpkins!!

They also had inflatables there...


and goats that nibbled...

and pony rides...

and face painting...

Although we did have a nice time and the weather was beautiful (unlike this weekend's wet gloominess), it was almost too much...and too many people. I think we'll go back to our tried and true local orchard next year.
