Thanksgiving Story: Apple Land

Alex and I had a really wonderful Thanksgiving. Determined to get away from it all we headed "up the country". We visited my mom's place to see some family and friends.

One special outing included our visit to Apple Land Station. This amazing apple orchard is located just outside of Thorndale, Ontario. It had a pick-your-own apple orchard, a pumpkin patch, an gigantic sand hill, a petting zoo, a cafe, live music, face painting, and (if that wasn't enough) a train! All of Alex's favourite things.

We had a blast. Right now I have a ridiculous amount of apples sitting on my counter. (I guess it's time to learn how to bake pies?)

All aboard to Apple Land!

 Alex takes face painting VERY seriously. This is the only time I ever see her sit so still.  

 It was worth it!
