We had a GREAT time at Lili's 5th birthday party which was at Honey Pot Orchards in Stow this year. When we first got there, there was a bouncy house for the kids to jump around in. Grant wanted nothing to do with that, as he hates bouncy houses. He won't even get in the one we own! He played with sticks in the dirt instead.
But Miss Natalie LOVES them.
Next, we all boarded the tractor-pulled-hayride to head out to the orchards to pick some apples. Lili, the birthday girl, is on the left.
Natalie had just come here within the last week or two with her school, so she was an expert apple picker.
Grant however, just wanted to eat the apples. I think he ate parts of 4 apples over the course of the day! Of course, that did not stop him from eating two pieces of pizza for lunch as well as half of an iced sugar cookie and part of an apple cider donut! (Then we got in the car to drive home and he asked for and received yet another apple!)
Next up, we all got to go in (free of charge because we were with the birthday party!) the hedge maze. I was a bit surprised at how difficult it was to find our way out! At one point, Todd just held the camera up to try to take a picture to see if we could find our way out!
Then we all got really excited thinking we had found our way out... but nope. Just a sign congratulating us on making it to the middle of the hedge maze!
Finally, we did make our way out and we went over to see some of the animals at the farm. There were sheep, goats, chickens and pigs. Grant thought the goats were really stinky, but he was pretty pleased with himself for getting to sit on this cool tractor! This boy just loves anything with wheels! What a great time at Honey Pot Orchards! We had planned to go apple picking as a family at some point this fall anyway- now we got to do that and have fun celebrating Lili's birthday!
