BelleWood Acres

Today we took a little trip to BelleWood Acres. We have ICU Family Pass, and this month's freebie was an apple from this apple farm. We were happily surprised with all they had to offer there.

the boys had fun checking if these sunflowers had any seeds yet


We took an awesome train ride tour around the orchards. There were beautiful views and their trees are pruned all twisty, which was fun. The boys had a good time trying to spot the biggest apple, which was hard because there were so many gigantic ones!

the boys always love a good train ride!



cool shot of the apples being washed before being pressed into juice (glad we got to see this as we missed last weekend's apple pressing festivities in kennewick!)

the boys learned to play checkers while we were there

Jaxon surprised us by wanting to ride the horse. he just walked right up and got a helmet and picked the horse he wanted to ride. he's usually so apprehensive about trying new things, but this time it was Boomer who was nervous! Jax got right up on the horse and didn't look back! By the time Jax's ride was over, Boom decided he was ready for a ride of his own! I'm so glad he changed his mind. It's not everyday us Dahlstroms get a chance to ride a horse!

he had a really good time, and afterward even grabbed some long grass to feed her.


so brave, Boomer!

"hi guys!"

little miss ellie even got in on the action. her horse was named flower.

Ellie got stung by a bee on the train ride. we were really worried she might be allergic, so the tractor operator called a golf cart to get us outta there faster. she ended up being okay, as long as she had a yummy apple to munch on, thank goodness!

After the apple fun, we stopped by a fundraiser at the country store for some hotdogs and bake sale treats, while we were eating jason went in and bought a little toy horse for ellie that looked just like the horse she rode. i thought that was the sweetest thing ever. he's such an amazing daddy. she LOVED it!
