We went to Pine Tree Apple Orchard on Saturday, along with 3000 other people. It was so much fun. The kids met Charlotte for the first time! They were very excited to meet her and have been asking for a couple of weeks now.
The ponies were being unloaded from the trailer when we got there. Grandma went straight to the pony line and we waited for the pony rides. Emily got to ride Yo-Yo and Louie rode Pudgey. They were both 10 year old ponies.
After the pony rides, we went on a wagon ride through the orchard. What a beautiful orchard that it. It located on the highest point in Washington County, you can see the tops of the buildings in downtown St. Paul from the top of the hill. Very pretty ride.
After the wagon ride, we went inside and bought some delicious apple butter, crab apple jelly and some Honeycrisp apples. Louie and Emily LOVE to eat apples. It is so nice, they don't like to have them peeled and sliced, they just eat the whole thing (except the core). They have been asking for an apple a day since the orchard.
It was a gorgeous day on Saturday. It was topped off with dinner at the White Bear Lake VFW. Emily won the meat raffle that night. She got to choose her packag eof meat. She chose the pack of fresh walleye fillets. We'll be cooking them in the near future. They look delicious! Emmy was very excited to win!
