I took full advantage of this and crammed in a bunch of my "TO DO's". Much to Nate's chagrin I'm sure, but he put on a brave face. He might have even enjoyed some of it!
First on the list: Family pictures. They turned out awesome! Thanks Annie. But you won't get to see it until I send out my Christmas card.
Second: Take pictures of my favorite row of tree's in the Fall. (check)
I'd promised to get some last year and the next thing I knew, a rain storm came through and in an instant they had all fallen off the tree's and my window of opportunity had closed until this year. These pictures don't do them justice so plan a trip to Hershey next year to see them in person. Totally worth it!
Third: Go to a local Orchard for Apple/pumpkin picking with the Banzhafs. (check)
The Banzhaf's asked if we wanted to join them on their traditional Paulus Orchard run. I of course said YES!
We got a little lost and happened to park in front of a good Samaritan, who took us to the Orchard personally. (Shame on me for thinking his true intentions were to take us to a remote location, kill us and take the boys...Ha who in their right mind would want 3 three years olds, a 9 month old and a 5 month old. Two of which are still nursing.)
The kids had an awesome time, but to tell you the truth, I think Nate and Mike enjoyed it the most.
They really wanted some of the Golden Delicious apples which had been really picked over, except for the tippy tops. So here is a clip of our "BIG" geniuses getting those apples...
Poor Owen. I think most of his pictures have the same background. (The green stroller) Sorry Kid! But he really enjoyed gumming this Cameo. Mmmmm
Liam on the other hand caught on and went right to work. Those apples are screwed on pretty tight!
Here are some of the other photos from the days activities. We had a great time. And the Apples are delicious. I'd make a pie, but I'm a weirdo and I hate cooked fruit. Yuck!

that's so weird. I went straight to the Masonic village to pick apples after I took your pictures. We had like the same day.
Oh looks like so much fun!
If you don't like pie, make applesauce! Just made some from my tree in my backyard... 6 hours= 12 jars... Still wondering if it's worth it. Could've bought some at the store, but hey free organic apples, no sugar (maybe a few bugs)! My kids are only going to get some when they're extra good! HAHA! Jars of gold!
