Ellie is 7 1/2 today. I know, how can that be already? But I assure you, it is! Halfway to 8 years old ... So off we went first thing this morning to Speer, IL (about 1 hour and 20 minutes North West of here) to
Tanner's Orchard. Lots of pumpkins, apples, donuts, cider and much more!
Ellie wanted to go through the Corn Maze and visit the animals first. Although we convinced her that at our 9:30 arrival time - it seemed perfect for an apple cider donut and another cup of coffee. Since donuts were involved she was easily convinced!
We trekked through the orchards, the corn maze, the animals and the pumpkins. We had a full day in our 2 1/2 hours there. And we left with lots of treats too! Including tonight's dessert - caramel apples!
What a terrific, sunny weekend we had .. and for the first day of Fall we took full advantage of our gorgeous fall weather!
