Halloween Apple Farm Trip
Friday is Halloween and I will be taking my girls trick or treating. However, my oldest daughter is going to be off from school that day also and I wanted to go to Oak Glen for my family’s annual Apple Farm trip. It’s been a tradition in my family ever since I can be remember to go to Oak Glen at least once every fall and now that I have my own family I like to do the same thing too. The Apple Farm has changed drastically from when I was a little girl. It’s much more suburb like rather than rural and they’ve added more things like jumpers, pony rides, and a train ride to do rather than just stick to the apple farms, apple turnovers/pies, and the petting zoo. None of this bothers me too much except that it seems to cost alot more than it used to in order to spend a day there. Oh and the apple pies are absolutely the best you’ll ever have…made with fresh picked apples from the local apple orchards, homemade pie crust, homemade apple cider, and other all natural fresh goodies. I’m getting sidetracked with thinking of the scrumptious apple pies but they are really that good!
My dilemma is whether or not I should go to the Apple Farm on Friday or not? I’m worried that it might be too much excitement, not to mention to much sweets, for my girls that day. I don’t like to go on the weekends because it’s way too crowded and it’s even pretty crowded on Fridays unless you go and leave before the early afternoon which we normally do. Since my oldest started kindergarten this year, I didn’t think we’d get to go but since she’s off on Halloween Friday I feel like we should go. I guess we’ll probably end of going and hopefully the girls will fall asleep for a while on the way home then they’ll be re-energized to go trick or treating that evening. Plus, I’m hoping since it’s Halloween the Apple Farm will have some special deals on apple pies and will be less crowded since people will be wanting to get ready for Halloween evening. So I guess we’ll be at the Apple Farm on Halloween after all. That should be fun…it’s the first time I’ll ever have been there on Halloween.
