Klackle Orchard

Fall was definitely in the air this past Saturday with cooler temps and gray skies. We thought it was a perfect opportunity to finally take a family trip up to Klackle Orchard in Greenville. We pass it every time we visit my parents but have never stopped. Wow, we've been missing out!


The donuts - Oh my gosh!! Sooooo good!!! I can't decide if my favorite was the pumpkin with cream cheese frosting or the caramel apple donut with caramel frosting. Yum!!


Aside from the orchard store, they have a quite a play area with a lot of different rides and activities for little ones. It was perfect for Hannah. As soon as we got there, all she could talk about was riding they neigh neigh.

We didn't believe she'd actually ride a horse, as she always chickens out when it comes to petting them, but she got right on and rode for quite awhile.

Of course, we had to take the wagon ride out to the orchard to pick some apples. They were HUGE! A lot of them were hanging quite low, so Hannah was able to do most of the picking herself.

Hannah was quite proud of her loot.

This was actually the first time that Jason or I had ever actually picked our own apples. We've always just bought the bagged apples from the orchard store, but now that we know how easy it is, we may just do some of our own picking in the future.

The day was actually quite chilly, so after our first apple stop, I stayed on the wagon snuggling with Jack.

The wagon ride put Jack right to sleep. Snug as a bug :-)

Once we got back, Hannah had big ambitions of going through some of the inflattables but she only made it as far as the entrance.

Hannah's absolute favorite activity of the day was the riding in the barrel train. We thought she might be a little afraid to ride by herself, but she didn't even give us a second glance once she had the steering wheel in her hand.

She had a huge grin on her face the whole ride! She was a crazy woman with the steering wheel, spinning it the entire time. She said she drives like Daddy :-)

After her ride, she worked up an appetite so she found a nice spot and ate another half of a donut.

Hannah and Jason also had fun playing in the mini school bus.

Klackle Orchard 2010 - two feet tall? I think we'll be making this a family tradition.
