Trip to the Orchard

We visited the apple orchard this weekend. Every year, I envision that we'll leave with bags of delicious apples to freeze and turn into yummy pies and tarts. But by the time we walk the grounds, take loads of pictures and play on the playground, my guys are usually tired and grumpy. So we at apple donuts, drank cider and called it a day!

The apple of our eye as the eye of their apple.

Rowan and Avery pose for the yearly height check.


Rowan climbs a giant pile of straw. I know what you're thinking: "Doesn't that seem dangerous?!"


Well, considering that older children were digging a tunnel through the hay...yes, I'd say it DID seem a bit dangerous.


Thankfully, Rowan stayed away from the tunnel even when the older children encouraged him to jump through it.

And he appeased his mother by flashing some half-hearted smiles for the camera.


Avery was a bit less compliant. A few seconds after I took this picture, she was throwing straw at me! ;) Hmmm...do we make these kids pose for too many pictures?


Breck thought that posing for pictures was yawnsville.


And clearly I was more interested in peoples' attempts to get Charlie to smile than he was.


Are we done yet? Seriously.

But then Charlie gave us this beauty! I caught him at just the right moment!

I even got one with Avery, Rowan and the grandparents. The kids are almost looking! Almost.


We had a great time and enjoyed a beautiful day.
Happy autumn!
