Oak Glen



We went on our annual Fall Family Field Trip (if you don't count last year)to Oak Glen. We had a great time this year. It is amazing how much it has changed driving up to Oak Glen. Everyone always tells us to take the Cherry Valley exit and go the back way up to Oak Glen but I decided to take our traditional way through Yucaipa. I am so glad we did, on the way out there was a major grass fire so they closed both the on and off ramp to the 10.

We had a picnic at Parrish Ranch, bought our apples and cider at Snoline Ranch, and then stopped at Los Rios. We picked raspberries at Snoline. It was great! So fun and relaxing, picked 3 pints of berries!

We ended our time in Oak Glen by purchasing a fresh baked apple pie at Laws. It was still warm when Cara bought it! That is how warm it was.

I love going to Oak Glen with the family. Spending time with the little ones is so important before they get to old to make the trips with you is very important. I am starting to realize that more and more as the children get older.

The picture is of a cider mill at Snoline which dates from 1896. There is also a chestnut tree which was planted in 1898.
