Hillcrest Apple Orchard


On Friday we all went to an apple orchard in Ellijay, GA. The kids really had a great time, especially Owen! They all got to milk a pretend cow and then shuck some corn. There was a wagon ride and a petting zoo also. Lettie and Ella were not crazy about the petting zoo. As you can see in the pictures, Ella was on top of her dad's back the entire time they were in the petting pasture. Lettie stood up away from all the animals near the gate. Owen could have stayed there all day. There was a calf that he loved. He also got to hold a baby chick that was born that morning. After the petting zoo, we went to the pig races. They all loved that. Then there was a big slide that went down the side of a hill. By the end of our tour, we were all pretty hungry. We made our way back to the market and got lots of goodies: apples, apple cider donuts(my favorite), peanut brittle, apple butter, and some apple cider.
