Klackles






This past Saturday we spent the day at Klackles, an apple orchard about 40 miles north of Grand Rapids. Caleb and Alanna played in a giant sandbox, played on some inflatable bouncy things, took a ride on a "barrel train," and petted some goats. Later on we took a wagon ride out to the orchards and picked apples from a variety of trees: Galas, Jonathons, and Courtlands.
It seemed kind of strange to have us all in shorts and Tshirts while picking apples, but that's the Michigan weather for you! We all had a great time. Alanna especially loved being able to eat her own apple.

Did you know in Cali you can't pick your own apples off the tree? Isn't that lame? I'll live vicariously through you and your cuties - don't let them get any bigger between now and Christmas!;)

I am missing Klackle Farms! It looks like you guys had a wonderful time. What fun to go apple picking in your summer attire.
