Orchards on the Ridge

Here in West Michigan we are so blessed to have so many wonderful apple orchards.  Sadly, many of them lost most of their crop this year due to hard frosts last April.  We set out on our annual orchard tour today hoping to find some apples, and we were pleasantly surprised that yes, there were apples available after all!
Our first stop at Ed Dunneback and Girls for donuts and apples.

Our next stop was at Steffans Family Orchard where we picked our own apples, pumpkins, and squash.





The colors are really starting to turn.  Up on the ridge, this is a pretty common scene - apples and forest.  God's beauty!



Our last stop was at Fruit Ridge Hayrides.  Sadly, they ran out of 1/2 gallons of cider right before we got there, but we were still able to get a glass of it.  They have the absolute BEST donuts and cider ever!!!

After all of that fresh air, and a tummy full of donuts, we had one tired little boy when we got home.
