Klackles Apple Orchard...

Today Jack, Heath and I went to Klackles, which is north of Grand Rapids, about 45 minutes for a field trip in Jack's class. Ah, 19 1st graders at an apple orchard...organized chaos is a fine description of our day. We've been there before, actually before Heath was even born...it is really nice and there is lots to do: pick apples, ride in large pumpkins, or flatbeds behind tractors, there are trikes that look like tractors, really too much to mention. And if you go with a group you pay one flat rate for it all, plus you get a bag of apples(that you pick), a pumpkin (that you pick) and cider and doughnuts. YUMMY! They sell lots of "fall stuff"...which I dig. The boys had so much fun, and were very well behaved, which is more than I can say for 80% of Jack's classmates.....ok, that comment wasn't necessary, but I thought it shed light and color to my story. Here are some pictures from the day...

It was a beautiful day and I look forward to going back again, maybe even this year. (but not on a Saturday...crazy busy!) Today there weren't very many people there which made it nice.
