Apple Picking

Sunday we had a great day apple picking at Eckert's. We went with Jeff, Kim, Grace and Ruth. It was such a great day to go, and we had such a good time compared to last year. Last year they had such a bad freeze that they lost a lot of their apples. So when we went to go out picking, they had just crates of apples that we got to choose our apples from.

The apples are delicious, and hopefully this week I will make a pie with all the apples we came home with. Lucas didn't want to stop picking them so we have quite a few. On the way home we got to ride the ferry across the river. We didn't get to use it on the way there because it had been closed because of all the flooding. We were all so happy we got to ride it back home since it is so much fun. (And it takes about an hour off of the drive time)

Noah was very interested in the leaves on the trees. Didn't know what to think of them. He didn't get to pick any apples off the tree this year, but I am sure he will be doing that next year with a little help. This is one of my favorite pictures of the day. I love the look on babies faces seeing and feeling something new.

I hope everyone gets to experience apple picking with their kids. It is so much fun and there are such good memories for both you and your kids.

Next on the list is going to the pumpkin patch. I do love this time of year, keeps us busy in the Bailey house.
