Our state is certainly not known for apple orchards; in fact, I think there are less than a dozen in all of Colorado, and probably less than three in our local area. But, we found a wee (historic) one not too far from home, and made a Saturday morning visit.
The big draw for Dallin and the kids were the apple cider doughnuts they advertised, and we were not disappointed--melt-in-your mouth apple-spice goodness! We also sampled some of their homemade apple cider, meet the farm animals, and took a hay ride. For a few dollars you could feed carrots to the horses, I did, and had my entire hand engulfed inside the mouth of a horse, which included a good deal of horse slobber. He-he! Cheap entertainment!!

That brings back memories of my childhood. I do love a good apple orchard.
