Apples, Apples...Everywhere!

This week we made our first ever trip to the apple orchards.  Aunt Stephanie, cousins Ben & Sydney had been there last year and really had a good time and this year they invited us to come along!  Our other friends came too and we had a great time.

Ready to go apple pickin'



Once we had our bags in hand we started walking through the orchards.  In true Mason fashion he was not going to be pulled around in the wagon, he thinks he is 10 and not only does he not need to sit, he attempted to pull the wagon with 3 two year olds in tow.  Nice Mase.  He was however a super trooper, as aside from the tractor ride (maybe 5 mins in each direction) he walked.the.entire.time.  Probably from 9:45-11:30!!

"I'll pull you!"


Lots o' walking!




Everyone had a blast, we all ate so many apples as we walked.  The kids seemed to enjoy being able to actually eat things off the ground (right?!) and run free in the open space.





After a long morning of picking apples and pears we had lunch and then tried to feed the goats.  I'm pretty sure mostly only Elisa was into it... Ben, kinda sorta, Sydney and Mason pretty much backed away!



By 1pm we were pooped and headed home.  What a fun day we had and we cannot wait to go back next year.  We told Daddy that next year he is coming for sure, I think he would have really enjoyed running around with Mason :)

Can't wait to see how big Mason is on this next year!


Fun day with Mommy :)
