The Gravenstein Apple Festival

We enjoyed our first outing to Hood River, Oregon as a family exploring the famous, Fruit Loop during their Gravenstein Days Apple Festival. We toured nearly 30 orchards and local farms all boasting of their apples, peaches, pears, cherries and other fresh produce. Kairis got to ride her first horse, Billy, a 20+ year old whose days at the rodeo were long gone. We enjoyed beautiful views of Mt. Hood and ended our day exploring downtown Hood River and eating Chinese food.
