Apple Picking Time

We drove up to Oak Glenn for some apple picking fun last weekend. 

This is Dave walking back to the family to tell us the apples we want to pick are on the top of that hill.

It didn't look like that long of a walk, but it was.  However, the Jonathan apples we found were delicious!

It was a little late in the season for the Jonathon's so most of the good ones were left at the top.  We used this handy dandy apple picker to get them down.

Paige liked picking too!

Samantha and Dave definitely had the best technique.

Amelia loved picking the apples off the ground and eating them.  She must have taken a bite out of a dozen apples.  The little stinker!

It was a really hot day.  Actually to hot.  Next time we will make sure to have fall weather when we go.  The kids cooled off against the cold water tank here.  It did feel nice.

Amelia found another apple!  Paige had fun picking the black berries that grew along the trail!

Garrett taking a rest.  Picking apples is hard work, especially in 90 degree temps.

All of the kids started pooping out after a while.  Samantha decided to take an apple break in the stroller.

Overall, it was a really fun day.  The kids got to go into the petting zoo and take a hay ride as well as pick some apples.  Next year I think we will take the older boys  and make a day out of it.  They have some really nice picnic area's and all sorts of fun activities going on during apple picking season.

Yesterday we celebrated Levi's 8th birthday.  This was his first ever birthday part and he was so excited.  We had family and his friends from Ethiopia over for the day.  He had so much fun.  Pictures to follow in a few days.

Happy Sunday Friends!
