Apple Picking

 
After the half marathon we took my parents to Kuipers Apple Orchard.  This was our third year there and I just love that it's a tradition for our family now.  We were all completely exhausted so the thought of walking around and picking apples was overwhelming but it worked out fine.  I didn't feel one bit guilty about eating THREE cider donuts.  Jackson clearly loved his too.
 
He also enjoyed the play area for kids.  There are tractors to climb on and he has really been into these photo options lately.
 We ate donuts first to make sure they still had some left and then we rode the tractor out to the orchard.  The kids loved the bumpy ride.
 This was the first year Jackson was really into picking his own apples.  He didn't pick the best options but the pie I made from them was still delicious.

Nana helped to steer him in the right direction.
Every time I picked an apple to put in the bag, Charley took it out, said "ball," an threw it on the ground.  She loved this apple once I got it started for her.
 We spent a little more time on the play equipment before we had to drag him away to go home.  He could have stayed there all day but we were all so, so ready for home.  And sitting on the couch.
 The best part of all was getting a picture to add to our collection.  I love seeing our family grow over the years.
HAPPY FALL EVERYONE!!!!
