Family Fun At The Orchard

It was way too hot, but we decided to enjoy what while likely be our first of many trips to the orchard this fall.

Thomas slept through most of our outing, but I have the most precious pictures of his first trip to the apple groves.

Gracie of course loved it, but the crankies spilled out as the heat really set in. She was most thrilled though because HER FATHER gave her a pocket knife to keep in her overall pocket for the orchard. This happened while I was getting Thomas dressed, and was not quite as thrilled as she was. Her daddy helped her use it though, and they sliced off a sampling of two different kinds of apples to taste.

We came back with a peck full of mostly sour apples for a yummy pie, and some eatin' apples to share and for Gracie's lunches.

And, we can't forget the cow train. It is back this year and Gracie got a ride first thing. I can only imagine next fall when both of my kids will be scrambling for a seat on the train.

I did get some amazing pictures, and you can see them here.
