Love Creek Orchard

Love Creek Orchard-Medina, TX

This past weekend we headed out to Love Creek Orchard. It is about an hour from San Antonio.

This is a working apple/pumpkin orchard. William had been asking for weeks if we

could go to Apple Hill, (which is just outside Auburn, CA.

We have gone there the last few falls and have had a blast!) Sorry Buddy, we live too far now.

So the pressure was on to find an alternative.

We really had no idea what to expect. We were hoping to find some apple trees, pick some apples off the tree and pick some pumpkins off the vine.

Boy were we wrong.

This orchard was fun but very commercialized-

every variety of pumpkins you can imagine.

They were grouped but type placed on hay bails. WEIRD!

You could decorate your own scarecrow, paint your own pumpkin, hay rides,

tractor rides,hay maze, pony rides, petting zoo, and Banjo show. (kids loved it)

It is near impossible to grow pumpkins in Texas. We tried and failed. :(

We did have FUN! It was a beautiful drive and we enjoyed a day out as a family.

Cute pumpkins!

I'll take this one please

We ended our day with a "Caterpillar Train" ride

They had a ball!
Though this was not Apple Hill it satisfied our fall activity.
