September had a lot of rain in Minnesota. I don't remember the statistics but it was dry in July, relatively dry in August (except for those days during our camping trip). But it seemed like we had a lot of rainy September days, which is good for our trees and plnts to help them get all ready before the FREEZE sets in, but it was wet for the humans who tried to dodge the raindrops to get outside before the FREEZE sets in.
Well, we had one of those nice weekends in September and we ventured out to a local apple orchard - just like the rest of Minnesota. We arrived right away as they opened up, which was a great idea. No crowds, we got a great wagon to use and got to walk around pretty much alone. They have a winery onsite as well, so we wandered through the Apple Orchard and then over by the winery. The grapes were amazingly beautiful.
They had a pumpkin patch and the kids played around the pumpkins. They also had animals, some goats, bunnies and a few horses. Cute place! We got our apples and the kids had a few yummy apple snacks and we were off to do more 'adventuring'. We just had to dodge some raindrops on the way home.
It was good to get out and stretch our legs before the next rainstorm showed up.
