Velkommen til Eplegaarden! (Welcome to the apple farm!)

Saturday was a big outing for the Cooper family- our annual trip to the apple orchard with our dear friends, Alex and Abby. This year's excursion was especially fun for Josie because we found a Norwegian farm nearby and got to experience strolling through the "pick your own" orchards. There were horse-drawn buggies, friendly goats, and an entertaining folk band playing amongst the trees. Josie even found some of her favorites apples- the Minnesota Haralson! The 80-degree weather was a little strange for October, but the apples were delicious and the company couldn't be beat. A few of our favorite pictures:

Elsie is anxious to come back next year to see how much she has grown.
