A New England Tradition

One of the best things to do here in New England is to go apple picking in the fall. We discovered this farm last fall and decided to go back again this year. The weather was just perfect in my not so humble opinion- sunny and mid 60s. There is supposed to be a bumper crop of apples this year. We got our bag and headed up to the orchards. Pushing a stroller on a bumpy, rocky dirt path can be a challenge. We all had a fun time and it was great to be together.





I just love this picture of Isaac. We had to remind him several times to get the red apples that are big.

Here is Rick holding up him up so he could get some high in the tree. It took a few minutes of coaxing him to get him up there. He's not a big fan of heights.

Here is Rick finding some winners deep in the tree.

Rick and the two best apple pickers...

Isabella loved it, but she might love her sippy cup more...

It was such a good day for photos.

Isabella isn't the most cooperative girl ever. She just doesn't sit still long enough.

Look who I found in the apple tree!

Rick and Isabella enjoying a nice apple.

Here is that sippy cup again. She really wouldn't put it down.

The farm also had a pumpkin patch that Isabella and I visited while Rick and Isaac went to the bouncy rides.

Again, she doesn't sit still. I had visions of this super cute photo to be used for Christmas cards... Oh well...

As soon as I sat her in the little box, she was climbing out. Doesn't that girl know that I want to take a picture??

Here's a little video of Isabella helping us.

And so far, I've made baked caramel creme apples and apple crisp. I have one more recipe to try, but I might make some more apple crisp because that is almost gone already.

Have a terrific autumn!
