MN- Last Day- Apple Orchard

I know, I took a lot of pictures while we were in Minnesota.
This is the last post :)
 
 
We started our last day right- with Rob's famous breakfast tacos.
Kids enjoyed chocolate chip pancakes.
 
Our kids just loved being with Witt and Helen.... we can't wait to meet Hartzler Baby #3 in the Spring!
 After one last race around the house, we got ready, packed up the car, and headed to a local apple orchard.
 
 
 
Took a tractor ride out to the fields.

And began our search for the perfect honeycrisp apples.











It was a GORGEOUS day. We couldn't have asked for better weather.

Thanks for capturing this picture, Sari!
Wish Tom and Simon hadn't been hidden in the trees :)


The tractor didn't have room to take us back, so we walked instead.

Found this cool tractor


Made it back to the entrance of the orchard where there was a corn stalk maze and hay bail maze. 

Henry- trying to find the beginning of the maze :)
 
After letting the kids run off any remaining energy,
we purchased our loot of apples and said our sweet goodbyes/ thank yous to our dear friends.
 
Drove to Kansas City that night and got home around 3 pm on Monday.
 
We had a blast and are so glad we made the trek northward to get a taste of the Hartzler's life.
Can not wait til they move back to Texas!
We are so thankful for them and the rest of our UTSW gang.
They truly are lifelong friends.
