Today i decided to take advantage of the beautiful sunny fall day and go visit the apple farm (actually i was inspired to go when i saw on the website that my FAVORITE apples were already "picked out"). So we threw together a picnic lunch and away we went!
In the barns with all the animals it seemed funny to me that the favorite for all the children was the chickens.... really??? Not the newly hatched baby chicks, the bunnies, goats, horse, pigs, goats or the sheep that all came over to see if we had anything to feed them...... but the chickens?!?!Really?!?!
Trying to enforce the "lets no eat our apples until home" idea was a bit of a losing battle.... oh well!
they were SOOOOO yummy, how could we not!?!
The weeds in the corn rows was so tall that we didn't venture very far into the field before picking what we could reach and heading back.
Checking out the humongous pumpkins was one of my favorite parts of the day (with the exception of the owner of the farm telling me while we were at the check out stand that I had the best behaved children that she has seen in a long while!)
Apparently it was a "no smiling Thursday" day for my friend Lila
Just as we were leaving the fields we discovered that one of the huge pumpkins had a little pool of water sitting in the top.... so of course we had to stay and splash for a bit
I'm not sure if this was Wesley's way of saying sorry for throwing her soother across the car while driving on the highway or not, but while at a red light it was just too cute to not take a photo of!
Thanks kids for helping pick the worlds best apples with me today, i had a blast, you guys rock!
So much fun! Amazing pictures, and thanks for sending the apples home - Lila and Sam look like they are on their way to becoming best buds :)
