Apples of my eye

This weather has been so beautiful and so not October, that we thought we would take full advantange and go apple picking! The five of us (including Weezer!) and Michael, Luke's parents and Molly, Aaron, and Evie went to Hillside apple orchard and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine--and the delicious apples! Enjoy the pictures! But first, an apple picking demonstration from Lachlan:

Step 1-Spot your apple.

Step 2-Don't let the branch or the apple hit you

as you grab your apple.


Step 3: run away with your goods!

Step 4-Enjoy! (I thought this looked like a painting)

Evie enjoyed step 4 as well!

The gang (I thought this would be a cool band

album cover except that I chopped off Luke's

head--sorry, Honey!) Can you see baby feet?

What a stud!

Lachlan was sharing with his puppy.

There was a bell in the orchard, so Luke rang it.

Mama and Lachlan sharing some apples.

Run Evie run!

'Hey. Give me some apples too.'

Good times at the orchard.

After the apple picking we hung out by the entrance

and played with a kitty.

Weezer wanted to play too!

And so did Evie. So much that she climbed the

bush tree to get closer. What a little monkey!

Molly was a good Mama and helped her down.


They had this great machine that smushed the

apples into juice. Molly got a work out!

Because of her hard work, we were able to enjoy some of the best apple juice we have ever tasted! Since that's what it was--pure apple juice!

The apples were so delicious that after 6 days we only have a few left over from our 1/2 peck bag. I am thinking we may even go back this season!

Love ya, mean it

Be here now.
