Boyds Orchard

As fall approaches we get the opportunity to head back to the orchards that have put the summer berries and assorted other goodies behind them and put all of their efforts into apples and pumpkins. It is a very fun time of year, that's for sure. This year Callie needed no coaxing to take the plunge down the biggest slide at Boyd's Orchard. She and Vivie Ann raced to the top of the stairs and came flying down with huge smiles on their faces. They couldn't get enough of the whole affair.


Believe it or not, Reese was a little more hesitant and found excitement in the activities closer to the ground. She was particularly happy sitting behind the painted peach and sticking her head out for a picture or two. She also enjoyed the hay ride and running around in the maze with the other kids. It's amazing how well she keeps up with everyone. We have to keep reminding ourselves that she is not even two yet.


Although it was only September we couldn't leave Boyd's without a couple of pumpkins.  So each one of the kids got to select one to take home along with a tasty apple slushy.  It was a great day hanging out with the Johnsons and the perfect welcome to fall.


Of course, this by no means would be the only orchard visit.  But it was a great kickoff event.
