My favorite family day of the entire year is when we go to the Apple Orchard and go Apple Picking!!! It's always so much fun. I thought since we are going next week, that I would post some of my favorite pictures from our Apple Picking Days over the past few years. It was fun writing this and seeing how much our family has changed over the years. We ended up not being able to go in 2010 but have gone every other year since 2009. I'm excited about Alanna being with us (outside of my belly) this time!
Enjoy!
October 2009
The first year we went, we went with my sister and her family, and my Dad. We celebrated his 50th birthday there. It was really cold and rained most of the day but we still had a blast. I can't believe how little Ruy was then. He was only TWO!
October 2011
What a difference in weather we had from 2009 to 2011. It was SO hot in 2011. Our visit at the orchard got cut short that year because Liam decided to poop while Nathan was holding him and it ran out of Liam's diaper ALL OVER the front of Nathan. He didn't think it was funny then but we get a good laugh out of it now.
October 2012
Once again, we had another hot day at the apple orchard. But we really had fun that year. We went during the week instead of on the weekend and there was hardly any one there. We didn't have to fight our way through crowds of people. We sat for a long time in this one shady spot and just let the boys play and eat a bunch of apples. I miss Liam's curls. I kept his hair short since right before his third birthday because he was so hot all the time, but now I'm thinking I will have to let it grow back out this Fall now that the weather has cooled off.
October 2013
This was probably my favorite year. The weather was SO perfect this year. It drizzled for only about 15 minutes, and then the rest of the day was around 60 degrees. We really just took our time. We talked, played, laughed, ate about 6...ok 12 apple cider doughnuts between the 4 of us, ate a bunch of apples and picked even more!
I hope you enjoyed our Apple Picking Days Through The Years! I am SOOO excited for our Apple Picking Day coming up next week!
