Apple Orchard!

We had so much fun this morning going to the apple orchard!  The kids had a blast picking (and eating) apples with their friends!  Supposedly the best place in AZ to pick apples is Wilcox which is about an hour and half from here...not sure we will be making it there this fall...but today we went to Howard's Orchard and it was so cute!  Covered in pine trees (seriously felt like I should have been in Northern AZ) and a good size with little ones :)

Ainsley with our apple bag, her "purse" as she called it.  I kept asking her if she wanted to me carry it (she eventually gave it) and she would say "I got it" (it's her new phrase)

Pulling Parker in the wagon...he wasn't liking it...check out her face haha...these two crack me up!

And it was a no preschool day and Bubba was with us!!!!!  YAY!!!!!  He LOVED it and had so much fun following Christian around!

While we were waiting for everyone to come...these two got right to business!!!!!!!

Andrew, Kate, and Ains

Howard was so sweet and let the kids try his new granny smith apples to see if they liked them before we picked any!  They loved that!  Do you even want to know how many Ainsley attempted to bite into after hearing this?!

Ainsley and Parker enjoying their apples!

Thanks Sara for taking this pic of us!  We had so much fun! 

I didnt seem to get any pictures of them actually picking because between holding the apple grabbing pitch fork thingy and helping the kids...I had so spare hands!  Sorry Corrin for later giving that to you and not taking it back....HAHAHAHA!

Little Natalie went back to get Ainsley because she decided she didn't want to walk anymore!  LOL!  I had to lure her with a paci...yeah that's bad.

Precious little girlfriends :)

Chowing down :)

And Corrin (Natalie's mommy) asked me to take a picture of her and nat and Evan said "Corrin take my picture too!" OMG. 

And I saved this picture for last because it is so darn cute!  Sara took it and sent it to me and said it could be a advertisement...I agree!  ;)  Maybe Howard needs a billboard?!

Thank you Sara and Corrin for sending me so many cute pics!!!!!  We missed you today Kendra and Addie :(

In the end we came home with over a dozen apples and cucumber and I am so excited to tryout the crock pot apple sauce recipe I saw on pinterest...Many other mamas are making pies and other yummy treats...my offer still stands ladies...I will sample them all!!!! :)

And with it starting to cool down...we have enjoyed some outside playtime!  WOOHOO!
