Apples Here We Come!

One of my favorite things about the fall is going to an apple orchard. It's one of the reasons why I could never live in the south, because I just love this time of year when the weather gets cool, the leaves start to turn, and the smell of apples is in the air. We had two trips scheduled to go to two different apple orchards in the same week. So we decided to do both! The first orchard we went to with some of the women in my Bible study and their kids. We had a great time and the rain held off for us! Wyatt loved the pedal tractors and he and his friend Drew played almost the entire time. As you can see from the pictures below, the two of them can get into a bit of trouble. They were peaceful watching the chickens and goats for awhile until they realized they could reach through the fence! And then the real fun began! But they loved the hayride and getting to eat the apples that they were able to pick from the tree all by themselves.

Then we went to our second orchard two days later with the other resident wives and their kids. We tried to get some of the boys to all sit on this bench and take a picture, but we quickly realized that getting four boys to sit still is nothing short of a miracle (and a source of frustration for the moms).

Wyatt and his two friends, Jackson and Caleb, sitting on the rocks. This was right before some of the boys began throwing rocks and Wyatt got nailed in the head! (Although Wyatt was the victim this time, he has often times been the culprit!)
