I'm finally getting around to posting about our adventure to Rileys Farm for a day of apple picking and LOTS of hiking. We (my sisters family and our family) headed out around 10am and did a little caravaning in the minivans. hahaha... :-) It's in Oak Glen, which is quite a drive away. We got there and it was a little colder that I had anticipated. We threw on our jackets and went on an adventure through the apple farms for a few hours. I was thinking that the apple farm was going to be big but that is an understatement. This pace was HUGE! We walked, and we walked, and we walked some more. There was a ton of different things to do. They had hay rides around the farm, a petting zoo, a civil war reenactment, picking of other fruits (strawberries, raspberries, pears, pumpkins, etc), a place where you could make apple cider, a bakery with fresh backed apple treats, and a couple places to eat. We fed the goats hay and watched them make apple cider but mostly the day was spent picking apples and enjoying the beautiful scenery around the farm. The kids loved it. Emily had a blast the entire day. Jack just loves being outside so anything outside makes him happy. And both my kids always have a ball with their cousins. Emily enjoyed picking the apples off of the trees (ripe or not ripe) and Jack enjoyed picking up the apples off of the ground (mostly the moldy, bruised ones) and then taking a bite. Yuck, I know. After a few hours there, the kids got cold, tired, and hungry. It had started to rain so that was our cue to head home. It was fun. We will definitely do it again next year.
