It's that time of year! One of my favorites!!!
We went on our annual Apple Picking trip with my Mom,Ted, Brother and his family and the four of us. As usual we had a great time. This year it seemed that we all got tired quicker! Maybe we're just getting older?
Dave, as usual, was a "great" influence on our nephews,Jake and Tim. He would say "hey guys-watch this", and he would run and kick part of the tree so that apples would go flying. Nice Uncle. Get the boys in trouble ;) This is probably WHY they love him so much. He IS pretty amazing!
Emma and Kate really get into it. They test taste the apples first, if they aren't up to par, they throw them on the ground and go on to the next tree :) Waste? Sure, but there are SO many so don't give me grief about it. :O)
Kate would tell us "c'mere guys, I found an apple"....Really? There are apples in an orchard? :) haha She cracks us up.
Emma wanted to climb with the boys and loved holding the apples in her shirt and then transport them to the bags.
We went back to my Mom's for hamburgs and donuts and cider. My brother and I were doing our absolute best to pester each other. I did the best job so he squirted whip cream in the back of my shirt. I smelled like curdled milk. LOL! I love these times! Don't worry-I got him back. On their way out, I threw a glass of water at him :) Oh-paybacks. He'll get me, I'm sure.
Well, I forgot our camera on the kitchen counter. I was so bummed. Ted took pics so I'll have to get them from him. Once I get them, I'll post them.

That sounds like so much fun! I love family outings! Especially ones that end with throwing water on someone!!!
That sounded like a fun afternoon... We never made it to the pumpkin farm, so we will have to get it on the calendar for another day.
Fun! And thanks for sharing the "fruits" of your labor with us! You should start calling Kate "Captain Obvious". That is one of Amanda's favorite names for my mom, who often states the obvious for no apparent reason.
