Apple Picking

The adventure this Saturday was some apple picking with the cousins. We didn't realize that we should have gone earlier in the season...when there were actually still more (edible) apples on the trees. Nonetheless, the little ones got to pick their own apples and run around. For us city folk, it was also a good chance to see some of the beauty of God's creation.

Jenny looking really ready to get picking and Hamilton wondering how to get that plastic bag (which, by the way, he does).

Check out the orchard in the background. It was smaller than we anticipated (though it probably seemed huge to the little ones).

We don't want to leave the littlest cousin off of this post! Paloma slept through most of the apple picking, but she and Hamilton got a chance to play before our train ride back into the city. (Yes, that is a look of sheer joy on Hamilton's face).
