Today's adventure would take us to the Kolacky Capital of the World for apple picking and pastries.
Now Theo's a pro at making his own breakfast.
They watch too many cooking shows. But tbh I'm more likely to leave a pan on the stove than the kids.
On our way to Montgomery the kids drew together. It's just so sweet when they get along.
While in Montgomery we had to stop at Franke's Bakery for kolackies.
We both got these confused with Paczki. Not at all the same. Kolackies are Czech not Polish.
These were kind of like a stuffed hot cross bun and pretty small. So, we got a day old pack of donuts too.
The kolackies were delicious just not packzis. Well worth a little road trip from the Twin Cities. It is the Kolacky Capital of the World after all.
I usually try to find apple orchards that aren't big fall festivals. We don't really care for the hay rides and whatnot. Though these kids do love a corn pit. I found Montgomery Orchard which was just a smallish orchard with no fuss.
I like the petting farms and games. Hayrides, nah. But wherever Brooke takes us sounds fine to me.
I love that you drive an hour to pick apples that takes 5 minutes.
There's got to be a middle ground between apple picking and blueberry picking. I guess that's just strawberry picking.
Somehow I didn't take any pictures of pizza. I''m confused too.
Me either, did you really not take any photos the rest of the day?
IDK. Can't find it on any old memory cards either.
Well, this orchard also had a winery and brick oven pizza truck on site. We shared a flight of wine and ciders and pizza.
The day was still young. I saw there were a lot of geocaches at the nearby Richter Woods Park.
Apparently I didn't hide as well as some of these geocaches.
This one was one of the most unique ones we've found.
After the park I thought it would make sense to get some loan paperwork done for a new car. I must be slow because I didn't realize we were actually just closing on our new plug-in hybrid. Say hello to our 2021 Ford Escape PHEV.
The last couple of weeks we had been looking into getting a new car. We were first interested in a Honda Clarity plug in hybrid. It didn't have a hatch back so I wasn't sure I could commit to it. None of the other Honda's available fit our preferences. One night Scott said the Ford Escape hybrid might fit our needs. After testing driving it I still wasn't sure, but thinking ahead it did seem like the right fit for our family lifestyle. I thought we'd be Honda people for life but here we are.
Kitty always walks on the cat walk above our attic stairs. Now she's getting even braver.
We ended our night with more Little House on the Prairie.
