The boys and I went apple picking on Friday morning. We visited a great orchard just down the road! We went to Bells Orchard, which is a short orchard, so all of the apples were hanging low enough for the boys to reach them without help. Simon mostly picked up rotten apples off of the ground, but Elias did great at choosing good ones from the trees. After Elias counted them all up we had 29 in our bucket. We’ll be eating a lot of apples in the next week or so!
Here are the boys during our beautiful outing:
Being in charge of the wagon is important!
What a beautiful day to be picking apples!
Searching for the best ones!
These boys are constantly on the go. I tried to stop their fun for a quick picture together, but this is the best I got. I guess I need to quit sticking the camera in their face and start actually letting them have more fun.
Reaching way up high!
Proud of his finds.
Simon dumped out his apples so that he could put more in his bucket.
Taking a rest to ride in the wagon for a bit.
Inspecting one last good one.
