Pleasant Valley Orchard - Fall Family Fun!




When I think of Fall, my first thought goes to Apples and Pumpkins. Luckily, we live right down the road from a beautiful little farm that has Apples AND pumpkins (also strawberries in the summer!!!).  Pleasant Valley Orchard is a beautiful little place that offers a quaint little store with apple products as well as a small barn where they sell home goods (pictured below).

            

Pleasant Valley Orchard offers hayrides to pick your own pumpkin and if you just want a hayride you can do that too! It was only $3.50 a ticket and you got to see the beautiful views of the farm along the way. 

View on the hayride - look at those clouds!

We were able to choose pumpkins from 3 different pumpkin patches and the driver was so kind to help load and unload our pumpkins. With two adults, one holding a baby, and a six year old, four pumpkins are slightly difficult to carry! For the pick your own pumpkin, they were $5 a piece and they were quite large, though there were smaller ones in the field for those who prefer those. For the experience and the pumpkin, I found it much more fun than the grocery store pumpkin stands! We enjoy the outdoors so this was perfect. They also offer pumpkins by the barns so you don't have to go traipsing in the fields if you don't want to. There were a variety of large and small as well as white ones and heirloom pumpkins.

A brat stand is offered on the weekends, otherwise there are tables to bring your own picnic if you want to make a day of it, or if you are enjoying one the wonderful treats in the store. The caramel apples were fabulous. For a whole list of Fall activities visit this link: Fall Orchard Activities

Pleasant Valley Orchard also has more fun for the kids including a play area of corn, chickens, goats, and I think there were bunnies but they were sleeping. 

Hours of Operation:


10 am - 6 pm Daily

The 12 Days of Halloween starts today, October 20th, so don't miss out on this family fun Apple Orchard and Pumpkin Patch!

Dance With Me, Momma

Sometimes one day in our life is just what we need to keep on moving forward. A little inspiration, encouragement and hope entering into our sometimes dismal worlds. Today just happened to be one of those days for me. My family and I went on a short hike at a new park my husband found. We climbed up steep hills meant for mountain bikes and followed small trails intended for wild animals. We were able to explore the woods and enjoy God's beautiful world and enjoy the peace and serenity only that can bring. What touched me most deeply was when Benjamin stopped me about 3/4 of the way through our hike. He pulled my face close to his and whispered in his sweet voice, "Dance with me, momma." So right there in the middle of the woods with only Lawrence looking on, I danced with my 4 year old. He hummed a sweet tune and spun me on the forest floor like we were in a ball room and I was a princess and him a prince. Then he grabbed my face and kissed my lips and said, "

WINNER ANNOUNCED! Forskolin Coleus - An All Natural Weight Loss Supplement Review & Giveaway

Image
Hosted By  Beautifully Poor Sponsored By Nourishing Well Nutritionals I am a skeptic when it comes to weight loss supplements and have never gotten into the fads. Lately though, I cannot seem to lose weight very well. I won't take anything that isn't natural and I know it takes work to get into shape and lose weight. As we all know to well, body fat is extremely stubborn! I exercise regularly and eat healthy, so this supplement was just the thing to kick start my fat loss journey. I started taking this on April 8th of this year. At the same time, I started doing 30 minutes of strength training in the morning BEFORE I ate breakfast. Also, having a glass of something caffeinated like black or green tea or a cup of black coffee FREE of sugar and creamer, can help kick start your body and give you energy. After the half hour of exercise, I wait about 20 minutes and then take 2 Forskolin Coleus pills. Within 20-30 minutes of taking those, I eat a well balanced mea
