Apple Orchard

Some scenes from our day at the apple orchard!

(except this 1st one :o) it's from another, smaller orchard) I have to add how lucky I feel

to have an apple orchard within 15 mins of my home

My little ones in their mama made apple attire

all set for a picniccuties on their handmade picnic blanket made by their creative mama

as if the apples weren't sweet enough...the farm had us candy them up :Da hayride with friends

lesson learned: sit next to your friend with an apple lolli

and you'll end up with a sticky arm :o)
