Apple Picking

Sunday was such a beautiful day that we loaded right up and headed out to pick apples. We weren't sure how we would feel post mEATfest, but we were fine and the day was a success. We decided to do all the rides first and try to beat the crowds. Thank goodness we did because as soon as we finished in that area the swarms of people arrived.
It was such a hot day that I wasn't able to dress the kids in their traditional Halloween t-shirts. Bummer!

We checked out the pumpkins, but will wait to buy one at old McDonald's Farm on Columbus Day.

The apple of our eye!

Cutest apple in the whole orchard!

Now onto the picking...let's test it out first before we pile them into the bag.

Grabbing the low to the ground apples until we can find a ladder.

Help me Poppy, the bag is too heavy!

Ahhh a ladder, Seth's favorite part of the whole day.

Leah is just like Roland and is afraid of heights so she opted to stay on the ground.

Then she got tired of the whole process and wanted a ride back to the truck. It was only a mile away! Ouch!

Leah also wanted nothing to do with the group shots so smiley Seth is always ready for his photo opportunity. He is trained very well!
