Apple Picking

After Owen was saved by the fireman a few weekends ago we headed up to Honeypot Farms in Stow for some apple picking. We picked this farm because not only does it have apples to be picked, but farm animals, pumpkins, cinder donuts and tractor rides! And let me tell you it did not disappoint!
Welcome to Honeypot Farms!
 Ready to pick some apples 

We kicked off the day with a tractor ride to see the farm animals. Owen loved the ride and got even more excited to see the pigs, goats, sheep and chicken. He successfully talked to each animal with their respectful animal sounds and even got to feed the goats with a cool little contraptions.

The pig pen. It was really cute their were three piggies each with their own house and if you look closely at the picture, there was also a wolf

 Hi piggie! 
 This was the cool goat contraption. Look closely at the top, there are 2 goats waiting to be fed 
 There were little cups attached to this pulley system that you could put goat food in. It was super cute and Owen loved feeding the goats with Daddy's help

After visiting the animals it was off to pick out a pumpkin! Owen was very careful on picking the right one. He went up and down the rows but finally settled on the perfect one.

 What about this one?
 Ok, how about this one?
 Not to sure he found the right one...
 I want this one! 
 So happy 

Once we had our pumpkin, the smell of cider donuts was just too tempting so we had to stop and buy a bag (or maybe 2). Owen was even a huge fan!

 Here mom, can you hold my spoon
 First time tasting cider donuts and he loved it! 

After all of this excitement we didn't know if our little O would have it in him to go actual apple picking so we came up with a game plan to stop at the first tree we found and fill our bag and that we did!!
This is way cool mom! 
 I love this picture

We rode the tractor back to our car and headed home. It was honestly one of the best family outings we have been on and very memorable.

 What a fun family day!
