"Fall" for Minnesota

We have truly found home here in Minnesota.  It is such a stunningly beautiful place and a big part of that is the changing of the seasons.  Whether it is the vast North Shore in the soft spring, the lake in the stunning summer, the fields and orchards of the fall, or the muffled silence of a snowfall at night....Minnesota has won us over.

This fall we returned to one of our favorite spots in all of Minnesota - our favorite apple orchard. How could you not love the combination of apple orchards, corn fields (And mazes!), gentle hills, lake views, and bright blue skies?!  Follow it up with a fresh, hot apple donut and some cider and you have a perfect day!

We spent hours (LITERALLY) in the corn maze so we could get all the clues to solve the puzzle and win one fresh crisp apple each. We went for a tractor ride. We picked our way through a pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkins.  We got apples.  A pretty great day.
