Lohr's Orchard

A local orchard offered $3 hayrides to school groups of 15 or more.  Well, between all the homeschoolers and preschoolers in our ward, we managed to get ourselves a group of probably 30.

Seth (and all the other little kids) waiting for the ride to start

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that our $3 ride included picking one apple and one small pumpkin.
After much searching, Seth found one almost as big as his face.

Pointing out all the rotten apples we passed.

Of course, the highlight of the trip for Seth was riding behind the tractor.
Here he is, completely mesmerized by the wheels: 

Heading into the pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin: 

Catherine approves of Seth's choice.
(don't mind my creepy stare--I tried to keep myself out of the shot, but it's too close range) 

Guess who was the first one back in the trailer?
Tractors trump pumpkin patches any day. 

After the ride they took us all in a (pitch black) barn for some cider tasting.
Catherine Washburn was kind enough to get a decent picture of me & my Catherine: 

Angelina & Seth try their cider (it was really, really good): 

Our 'little' group: 

Our ward is awesome.
