We take this picture every year. Kinda fun to see how much they change in the year.
Since we were there during the weekday, it is not very busy. Without it being super-busy there was not as much running as normal. On the weekend there are continual rides to the orchard parts, but since it wasn't very busy we had to wait about 30-45 minutes for our ride so we killed time in the family fun area.
There were a couple of new things since we were there last year. One section is the "Wild West Klackleville" area. There were 5-6 different "buildings" from the Wild West.
One building was a jail where all 3 Marcs got thrown in jail.
Another building was a saloon. They had tables set up with card games and drinks. Marc didn't know it was supposed to be beer and he was pretending to be thirsty and taking a sip.
There was a stagecoach that Marc wanted to go in and look and Samantha was getting antsy to get out of the stroller so we went in. I thought it was a cute photo op.
There was also a horse-drawn wagon that was a good stage for some more photo ops.
Another part of the family fun area is a track to race foot-pedal-powered cars/bikes. The 3 Marcs had a race. The winner is still unclear due to bumping and rule-breaking. ;) I think Marc III should be the official winner since he didn't break and rules. ;)
There are a couple of tented areas for kids to drive tractors and trikes. The kids had fun. Marc was able to drive them on his own, but I had to help Samantha, especially because of her arm.
Since Marc got some practice driving the little tractor, we thought he was ready to drive the big tractor now.
It was finally time for our ride out to the orchards. On the bust weekends there is a wagon ride to the apple orchard and an enchanted pumpkin wagon to the pumpkin patch. Since they weren't that busy, we rode the pumpkin ride out to the apple orchard and then to the pumpkin patch. We're ready for our ride!
Sorry for the blurriness of some of the pictures, the ride was very bumpy!
Our first stop was to pick some apples. Here are lots of really cute pictures of the kiddos. :)

Samantha thought they were neat
Every year we take this picture too, since the kids are the apples of our eyes! :)There is a wooden train that the kids can "drive" and ring the bell. Every year Marc enjoys this.
Marc lead me though the kids maze. We took a few wrong turns, but eventually made it out safely.
The weather was cold and windy, but we still had a great time. We spent 3 hours there! :)
