Oh, Jackson's Orchard. We love this place so much. I've been coming since I was Jane's age basically, and it's always so sweet and fun to be back. It's changed a lot over the years, but it's still the sweetest little family run orchard.
This year, we packed up everything on Saturday morning and headed out for a day at Jackson's Orchard and then a weekend plus some at Papa and Nana's, so everyone was very excited for all that the day and week held.
As we were driving, Jane said, "Look Mommy, we are friends! We are holding hands." Haha, like I said everyone was very excited hahaha
Pulling into this sweet place is always the best!
And Jane and Andy both RAN to Nana and Papa! The sweetest ever.
Wasn't this just yesterday when 6 month old little Jane was greeted by them as we pulled in?! Hahaha
Everyone decided pretty quickly that the hay ride was first on the list!
Andy was in heaven with pumpkins, Papa, and Nana - all he needs!!
My sweet Mama!! Thankful for all of those years she brought us here and all the memories we made when we were kids too!
The kids loved playing with the pumpkins!
And the pumpkin sign is always a hit!!!
I grabbed a picture with sweet little Jane!
And then we made our way to the corn maze... This is why Papa is so loved... We told them they could both walk, and yet, here they are hahhaha
But off we went, and goodness, did they have FUN!
We snapped a little picture (we were missing Audrey, Matt and Baby Noah!!), witnessed a little pumpkin patch engagement, and just enjoyed the afternoon a bit...
Love watching these two...
And Andy was just having the BEST time...
This kid has fun just about everywhere he goes...
But this was something SO special to him hahaha
It took him back to this summer I'm sure!
We rode the wagon back and Jane had been counting down for the "big slide." And honestly, I don't know who had more fun. All four of us took both kids multiple times, and I think every person enjoyed it every time hahaha Andy truly giggled the entire time and never wanted the turns to stop haha
We ordered some caramel apples and apple cider slushies and Jane made her way to her favorite little hay playground... I had to run over and snap a picture of her with Papa because...
...I knew I had one from last year...
...and the year before! Sheesh, time needs to slow down!!
She loves this memory of playing on this!
And this year, even Andy got to join the fun.
Jane showed him how to do the slide...
And let me tell you, the rest was HISTORY.
Like I said, this kid has fun anywhere he goes....
But this was a whole new level hahahah he could have done this slide about 700 times more than he did hahahah
We shopped and grabbed some apples, apple butter, and apple cider and snapped a few pictures...
And Daddy made everyone laugh (and Mommy nervous!!) by jumping a little fence walking to the car...
And the kids fell asleep about .7 seconds after we loaded them into the car hahaha it was a FULL day, but a FUN one, and one that we are so thankful for! We're thankful for the memories that Jackson's Orchard holds, we're thankful for my parents who make the drive every year to meet us, and we're thankful for this little growing family and how every year, it seems to get a little bit more fun with how excited they get and all the things they are starting to love to do and experience.
A tradition that we have all come to love! Thanks as always for following along, and I hope your fall has been filled with sweet fall memories as well!!
I'll plan on seeing you back here tomorrow!
Sending lots of love!
