Apple Orchard

We had a lovely (if chilly) time at an apple orchard/pumpkin patch this weekend with Matt, Jessica and Oscar.  

Olive wore her fun new hat, which I think makes her look a little like a muppet, or a swamp person, or something:

Olive was very good at picking apples and enjoyed filling her own bag very much:

Jumped off haystacks:

A major highlight was Olive's first ride on the cow train.  She chose the one named Georgie ("just like my friend George!").  We assumed it was a short ride around in a circle or something.  I asked the driver if she was big enough and he said yes, so in she went:

Off they go!  And they just kept going.  The train rumbled down a path and disappeared.  For 10 minutes.  It was more than we (or Olive) had bargained for but apparently she did just fine on her solo cow train adventure:

And the cow train returns, thanks goodness:

After they got back the driver said, "she did great, just sat up straight and looked around the whole time!".  So maybe he was worried she was too little for this ride, too.  Turns out she wasn't.  She's a cow train champ.  "That was fun!".

*Editors note: in the video, don't miss the full grown adult who took the cow train (three from the back).  I assume he thought it was a funny photo op with his friends and didn't realize he'd be stuffed in that tiny seat for a 10 minute ride with preschoolers. :)
