Fall Time Family Fun

Now that fall is finally here....well, officially this Friday....I'm sure you are wondering what the heck you are going to do with the kids when the weather starts getting chilly. I have a great idea! Take a family trip to your local apple orchard!

Orchards are a great place to have some family fun. Most of them have a great tractor ride that will take you and the kids out to the apple orchard. What kid doesn't like to ride on a tractor? The fresh air and exercise of picking apples is great for the little ones as well. And, you don't have to worry about a snack, let them just pick one right off the tree!

After apple picking is done head on back to the main area for some fun. Most orchards have lots of things for kids to do. Some have pony rides, corn mazes, jungle gyms etc. Let the kids burn off some energy and then grab some grub. The apple orchard I visit is known for great food! I am sure most orchards are as well. Explore the options and try something festive, like a hot apple cider or apple cider donut! Don't forget to check out all of the fun crafts as well.

Remember....a trip to the apple orchard would be a perfect opportunity for a fun family photo. This might even make a great Christmas card picture! (I know I know...who is thinking about that already.)

Take a trip to yelp.com to check out some local apple orchards. If you are in the Chicago area stop by Edwards Apple Orchard in Poplar Grove. Have fun on your family fall adventure!
