Ann Arbor, Michigan Family Photographer | The Apple Orchard

It's that time of year again! Apple orchards, apple cider, apple picking, cinnamon donuts and pumpkins! It has been unseasonably warm the past few days so Saturday when we rounded up our family for the apple orchard we didn't suspect it woudl be so cold! Thank goodness I brought jackets for the girls, but unfortunately Ryan wore his infamous sandals. The girls had a blast, but poor B is starting her fall time cold! It has to be tradition now, as last year at the apple orchards she had a cold as well. Poor baby.

We decided this tiome to try out the corn maze. We assumed it was for children and would take a few minutes. Well, guess what happens when you assume?! The attendant gave us these little cards that showed the things we were suppose to find in the corn maze. The trick was that only 5 of the 10 images were in the maze. If you got all 5 you got a free donut and cider. Well...for those of you who know my husband and the word "free" will understand that now this was a mission we MUST complete. Two hours, two crabby toddlers and two hungry adults later we finally found the exit and had the two completed charts in hand and headed off to get our cider and donuts. We reach the desk to find out that Audrey lost her chart. So we retraced our steps all the way back to the apple orchard to no avail. Finally we ordered our 1 free donut and 1 free cider and then we got an additional half gallon (to add to our gallon in the fridge) and a dozen donuts. We all chowed down the donuts like we haven't eaten in years (or like we hadn't had cider and donuts just on Tuesday!) We all in all had a fun time and on the way home B fell fast asleep, Audrey chatted the entire way and Ryan realized he was getting sick too!

Well...we still had fun :)
