Trip to the apple orchard

We enjoyed a wonderful day at Eckert's apple orchard at the end of September.  I will cherish these memories as our last big outing as a family of five.  The boys behaved so well and we all had such a good time.  What a special fall treat!

George finding an apple.  He and Zack both remembered that you have to twist them to pick the apple off the tree.

Hi Mommy!
Andy enjoying the fruits of his labor.  Fruits?  Get it? 
The orchard also had a large play area with lots of different activities for the kids.  Andy was thrilled to ride in the airplanes with George.

Mommy and her boys at the end of a great day.  Lots of smile and lots of fun.

  1. Looks like a fun day for sure! I was right when I said it looks like a baby girl in that tummy of yours. I'm glad you guys had a great last family of 5 outing. Love, Aunt Dude

  2. Next year, Joe will have Mary on his back instead of a backpack. :)
    That looks like quite a place. I missed apple picking this year. The orchard had a late freeze so no apples this year. Bummer.
