Mr. Wilson's Apple Orchard
Yesterday, we went to the Apple Orchard. I borrowed a wagon from my friend, Michelle (thanks, it worked great) and asked my sister, Kim, if she'd like to join us. I asked Kim to join us for a few reasons:
1.) I thought she'd enjoy seeing my kiddos run around the apple orchard. I know the orchard is one of her favorite places to take her kids and I thought she'd love to see my kiddos there for the first time.
2.) She knows how to get to the orchard. Always, easier to have someone along that knows where they are going.
3.) She could help me wrangle in the kiddos. Open field + 3 two year olds (could) = disaster.
What I didn't expect was for us to have our own personal photographer! She got some really GREAT pics of the kiddos wandering the apple orchard~ huge THANK YOU Kim, I love all the pics!!
Here are just a few......
Kiddos running up the hill. "Wait up girls!"

Austen searching for the perfect apple, moving the branches out of his way.

Caitlen thinks she's found the perfect apple- "right there, that one!"

Brooklen pausing to see what treasures may be hidden on the ground.

I think it's so cute when they hold hands. Caitlen leading the way with the basket, Brooklen loves to hold hands with the other 2 so, I wasn't surprised she was in the middle & Austen carrying his apples.

This is my favorite picture~ I just LOVE it!

Enjoying some sliced apples while Momma & Aunt Kim buy apples & apple dip =) It was great that they were handing out apple slices, it gave me time to look in the little shop, not much time, but a little.
