Amazingly, we were able to convince Adam AND his brother to take off from work today (I don't need much arm twisting these days) so that we could go apple picking with the kids. I had heard that the Orchard we were going to can be really packed on the weekends and this seemed like a great excuse to make a 3-day weekend. We've decided to make this a annual tradition and are planning other picking-outings (strawberries!) for next summer. It's nice that we are starting family traditions like these and we look forward to Lil' Man being old enough that he and his cousin can run around and play together.
The weather was great, it wasn't too windy or cold, the sun was shining, and it smelled like autumn. After picking (and eating) PLENTY of apples, we wandered around their store, played at the playground, and went thru their mini-maze. We ended the day with hot apple cider and cider donuts!
Even Lil' Man partook in the apple-tasting. They were so juicy, it was easy for him to have a little taste. We could hear his bottom two teeth scraping on the apple, which was pretty cute. We have one of those mesh food holders and he's sure to love sucking the apples juice out of it in the days to come.
