We had a funny experience during MEA (Minnesota Education Days).
We decided to have a family activity, but didn't have a lot of time for it. Going to an apple orchard is a big tradition when living in Minnesota. We have our favorite one out in Stillwater, but decided to try a new one down south. Little did we know it was more geared to preschoolers.
The funniest part was following GPS directions. The girls saw a Trail of Terror sign, and said "Ooh, that sounds fun!" Not 2 minutes later, the GPS leads us to a very old cemetery and says "You have arrived to your destination." We bust out laughing because A) this looked spooky like a trail of terror and B) the cemetery was definitely not our destination! And of course it started raining the minute we stepped outside of the car.
Look mom… this tombstone is scary. And tall.
Oooooh… spooky! Scary! We found our own Trail of Terror!
We did finally find our way to the orchard. What we loved about the orchard was there were tons of squash and the apples were amazing (honey crisp and honey gold). We stocked up on both.
All was not lost, we noticed on our way to the orchard the Worlds Largest Candy Store. Huh? Why I have I never heard of this place before?
It was really fun to look the novelty candies. I wish this picture showed how long the building is- the end of the wall is probably 1/8-1/4 mile down.
Scary equals this giant gummy worm…. 5000 calories!
Yep, you'd have to be a real pig to eat all of this candy.
After that, it was dinner at The Cheesecake Factory then walking around the mall.
It ended up being such a fun outing. And incidentally, the cheesecake was gone in about 10 seconds flat. My proper girls' etiquette went down the drain once the cheesecake was put in front of them.
