Apple picking is so much fun.....

Michelle has been reading a book about apple picking for a year now and we finally went today with her cousins. She has been so excited but got a bit distracted by the dog bouncy house next to the parking lot when we first arrived. We managed to convince her to go into the orchards but with every apple she put in the bag she would say "now we can go jump." Crazy kid doesn't miss a beat. Charlie flipped for an apple the moment he saw them. He continued to eat apples throughout the orchard sampling some from every tree it seemed.







Michelle finally got to go in the jumpy house.


We then proceeded to the play ground where the kids had a blast playing with all of their cousins, who are all SO great with them I must add.






I think the funniest part of this portion of the day was Stephen luring Charlie out of the fort with a donut, tears are coming to my eyes thinking about it. Look closely at Charlie's cheeks in the second photo his mouth is stuffed yet he wants more, that's my Charlie.








We then proceeded to the pumpkin patch where Charlie did not disappoint. I had been looking forward to this part the most as he simply loves pumpkins, as you can see.





Michelle enjoyed walking through the patch with Allison and Lindsay.


We finished the day at the farm with a ride around the pumpkin patch. Michelle got halfway around when she started giggling so I hear. This is great as I fully expected to see Mike walking back from the far end of the patch having had to abandon the ride.




A successful day!!
