Pine Tree Apple Orchard - White Bear Lake MN

We took a trip to the Pine Tree Apple Orchard - White Bear Lake, MN

The orchard offered hayrides, a cornmaze, pumpkin patch, pony rides & the most amazing baked apple items. - Apple pie, apple donuts, apple butter, apple cider, apple jam, apple pies, apple turnovers, apple syrup...and more! YUM.

After a tour of the pumpkin patch & run thru the cornmaze, we bought our honeycrips apples & ate carmel apples. It was pretty much all about the apples, except for Sam in the pumpkin patch.

Rice Lake State Park - Labor Day Weekend

With school about to begin, we thought it would be nice to take the kids on a back to school camping trip.
This was our first time staying at Rice Lake. The weather was absolutely beautiful for the 3 nights we spent camping.

Samantha found the largest puff-ball ever. "The Mother-Load" she called it.

We camped, hiked, canoed, cooked...and managed to get a little sleep.
