Apple Picking!

This weekend we finally went apple picking. I have been waiting so impatiently myself, ha ha. By far apple picking is one of my most favorite fall activities to do as a family. This was the girls first time. All three of them thought it was neat and did a swell job filling the bag right up. Red delicious are the girld favorites. 



 We were blessed with a sunny wand warm october day. To our surprise we started to sweat picking the apples. Only in Michigan can it be either 80 degrees or snowing in one month. 


 They were quit the pros at picking apples. Vivian had learned the correct way of picking an apple off the tree at her recent field trip.
 Of course the hubby has to scout out where the best apples were. 
 Sisters helping sisters or what we call, team work in our house. 
There were even some apples low enough for our littlest to pick on her own. She was so proud!
 She wouldn't take a picture with me. She was too busy eating an apple. In fact I lost count how many apples they snacked on while picking, ha ha ha.
 Sisterly love totally melts my heart.
 This is our typical picture of the three girls. Viv is usually in la la land. Ev most always has an attitude from not wanting her picture taken. helen on the other hand likes to pout about who knows what. For myself, I always get a good chuckle from the pictures. 


After the hard work from picking apples we were off to play. next we're off to the pumpkin patch...

Photo Friday: V's 1ST Field Trip!

Monday Viv had her first ever school field trip. Their trip was to Well's Apple Orchard. Perfect for the season here in Michigan. The class were taught how apples grow on a farm and of course all the other little facts that go along with growing apples. 

 The class listening so nicely. 
 Off we go to see how you pick an apple. Even though it was not a U-pick farm.
 I don't think we have ever seen so many apples at once.

At the end of the field trip they snacked on cider and donuts. Fits the theme right? After they let go of their butterfly they raised in their class. It was such a beautiful morning for a beautiful field trip.

Have you been to an apple orchard yet this fall?
