Apple Picking?

Every October we go to Fennville to pick apples at Cranes. Last year Ella was in a front carrier but this year we anticipated her lending a hand. Well, we made it to Cranes at 6:05 on a Tuesday night only to find out they closed apple picking at 6:00 While the kids were bummed it wasn't long before one of the boys remembered the apple cider donuts which, quickly became just as good as picking apples. Cranes is a unique place that on the the inside is more like an antique shop than a restuarant. We decided to stay for dinner and it was fun to watch the little one's expressions as they observed wooden high chairs, civil war muskets, and things from the good 'ole days. Although we were not able to come home with bags of apples we had a great time as a family.
