Apple Holler

I mentioned before, the kids and I took one last visit to good ol' Gurnee (a brother will still be living in the village, so I'm sure we'll visit again). Sean joined us for the last few days. My parents still had to go to work (only a little bit longer until retirement and then they're all mine! Oh, isn't that what that means?) so the kids and I had to entertain ourselves.

So we went to the Apple Holler! I could have paid twelve bucks to go apple picking or just three to play everywhere else. The latter, thank you!


Liam and Dash have to stop at every photo-op-face-hole they find.


There were a bunch of little bridges (which bridged nothing but patches of grass) scattered about, which looked silly but, golly, kids do love bridges.


We played under the hay. (I think Grey looks EXACTLY like my one-year-old self here, what do you think mom and dad?)


We played on the hay.


Dash, perfecting his sad face.


Liam, perfecting his sweet face.


Grey, having a snack.


There was an apple tree maze, a corn maze, and a regular wood wall maze. All filled the kids with joy.


One more tunnel venture!


When it's just me there taking pictures, I take whatever face I get.


And off we go, Grey leading the way.
