Tuttle Orchards





























We just got back from Tuttle Orchards and had a great time. Upon arrival, we were given a little red wagon and a basket and shown which apples were on which rows. We started on a Red Delicious row, picked a ton, and then headed over to a Golden Delicious/Cortland row. Once we had paid for out apples (we picked WAAAAY too many!) we headed over to the kids area. Ella only wanted to swing and did that for about 2 hours. Jacob tried everything- the maize maze, jumping and climbing on hay bales, and hiding in the corn house. Ella did take a break to look at the llama (which she thought was a kangaroo), but went right back to the swing when she was finshed. She kept telling Kris, "Higher! Higher! I wanna go into the clouds!" Jacob made a new friend and the two ran around doing everything together. We headed across the street where they were selling hot dogs and had some lunch. Ella was getting really sleepy and ate while leaning her head on my shoulder. Once back in the car, Ella fell asleep quickly. Jacob quizzed us on apple recipes and decided that we should make an apple pudding. I'm not sure such a thing exists, but to cover all my bases, I'll look for that tonight.
