Apple Orchard

Yesterday we went to my Uncle Bob and Aunt Laure's apple orchard to pick some apples and make some juice, it was chilly but we had so much fun!We got out our winter gear for a day in the orchard!

How pretty are the trees?

I think Jude ate 20 apples yesterday!

Jack putting in apples to be chopped by the apple press.

Luke wasn't sure about the whole experience and wouldn't come out of the van for the first 45 minutes but after Aunt Lele coaxed him out he loved it!

Coming out of the orchard with his harvest.

They did have some downtime to swing and play, the kids all also played apple ball, they used an apple for a soccer ball, football, and kickball. These kids are so resourceful!

Layken helping Grandpa Ken at the press, she worked hard yesterday!

This is the press, the kids (and I) were fascinated with the apple chopper and press and watching all the juice come out, we got six gallons to take home along with a crate of apples. Thanks so much Bob and Laure!

The girls picking apples.

How sweet is this?

I love this picture.

This was where Jack and Levi were all day, Jack spent most of his afternoon in a tree. My Uncle Jim even brought me the hood from Jack's coat that he had found up in a tree!

It was a really fun day to be outside and hang out with family!

We missed you yesterday Daddy and today too, it stinks to have to work on your birthday! Happy Birthday and we love you!
