A Beautiful Day at the Apple Orchard

Today we ventured out with some friends to Pleasant Valley Apple Orchard near Taylor's Falls. We had a great time . . . we picked our own apples, enjoyed a hayride, played in a "cornbox" (think sandbox), fed the goats and chickens, had a picnic (with the bees!), walked their trails, picked some pumpkins, and enjoyed being outside in the gorgeous sunshine.

I'd definitely recommend this apple orchard. It's family run, busy, but not too busy (it's outside of the Cities so that helps), and provides a fun experience for the little ones. They are also good about giving people free reign over the land--there are acres and acres to just explore! Check it out!
