aPplE pIcKiNg

This weekend we went apple picking for the first time. We finally were going to have a Sunday w/ good weather, & I really wanted to get out & enjoy it! I did some research online & found an orchard about 35 min. from us that allows you to pick your own, and they were having a "Sundae on the farm" day. They were giving free ice cream sundaes, had activities for the kids, horse drawn hay rides thru the corn fields, animals, and much more.

Checking out the pigs! They were named H1 & N1! {Seriously!}
And watching the hay rides go past. Ethan refused to go on one, until they stopped running. Then of corse he wanted to go for a ride!


Apple picking was so much fun! Ethan loved Daddy lifting him up into the trees!



Collin couldnt wait to get his hands on an apple!



And eat it!!! Yummy "bapple" {thats how he says apple!}



Then he decided he wanted to pick some too! He found one @ his height & decided to take a bite before taking it off the tree!



Ethan found a good one @ his height too!








Just hanging out in the trees! Fun!!!



After we finished picking we enjoyed some music on the lawn.


And free ice cream sundaes!



We had such a great time! Can't wait to do it again next year!

So cute. I like that you wore a plaid shirt to go with the farm theme. :-)

Looks like everyone had a great time! I can't believe the pigs names! Good sense of humor! We've got a place about an hour from us called Apple Hill and we've never been before, maybe this year!

It looks like you guys had a fun day! Adorable pictures!! We took Simon to an apple & pumpkin farm for the first time last year, and I'm hoping that we'll be able to go again this year! I love the fall!

What a fun day. The pictures were great! We've been thinking about going apple picking too, just weren't sure how the girls would like it. Seeing how much fun you guys had makes me think it'll be a good outing before the weather turns! :o)

I love these pictures. What a great day you guys had for apple picking. It appears both boys had a great time-Ethan is getting so grown up. Collin-juts a complete cuties. And from Facebook I know you have been loving the apple pie and I really need to make one soon because there are few things better than warm apple pie and vanilla ice cream!
