We've been looking forward to today for over a week since the entire day revolves around friends, apple cider doughnuts, hay rides, a corn maze, climbing trees, and more apples than one could possibly eat in an entire lifetime. This day has become an annual event in our lives since moving to Wisconsin, and we love sharing it with the Lard family! This year it was a bit chilly, especially for it being so early in September, but that couldn't stop us from enjoying the day. We started at the corn maze this year, which took us quite awhile since we had five different opinions at every turn on which direction we should go. In the end we found every checkpoint though thanks to a little help from the moms and eventually the dads. Next, it was onto the orchards to try every variety of apple they had...Cortland, Macoun, McIntosh, Golden-Delicious, and our new favorite, Zestar, just to name a few. Our goal was to climb to the tippy top of every tree, which is no easy feat when there are five of us in the tree. When all was said and done we had probably eaten enough apples to fill us for a week, which resulted in us literally rolling down the hill. I guess all of this fun explains why I'd still like to be an apple picker when I grow up!

Looks like a good time was had by all. Lots of monkeys in the trees and lots of apple pickers and eaters. Such fun.
