Apple Picking

Yesterday our ward had a FHE activity to go to McQueen's Orchard and pick apples. It was so much fun! We have lived here in Toledo for over 3 years and this was our first time going to pick apples. Jack was so excited--he was talking about it all day! When we got to the trees Jack took off running looking for apples to pick. It was so fun to watch him get so excited over something so simple--I guess we don't get out enough. I feel like I have been trapped inside for the last two weeks because the kids have been sick so it was really nice to be outside and enjoy the wonderful fall weather. Macie did really well and was more interested in eating the leaves than picking the apples. Actually these days she is willing to put just about anything in her mouth (she is working on her first tooth). Here are a few of the pictures from our fun night out as a family.

It is nearly impossible to get a good picture of both Jack and Macie at the same time--but Jack did his best to hold Macie and smile while sitting on pumpkins--Not bad.
Check out this face! Is he cute or what!? He was so proud of himself when he picked his first apple. Jack and Ryan climbing up the ladder to get the apples. I think Jack was a little excited--look at the cheese on his face.Macie loves being outside. She is such a fun, sweet baby--but she is definitely a mama's girl.
Here we are in front of the giant ladder that we climb to get the apples. It's a good thing that none of us are afraid of heights.

Jack was showing us how strong he is by lifting the bag of apples. We actually only took home half of that thanks to the Felts. There is no way we would be able to get through that amount of apples. Ryan has been hinting for days that he wants apple pie--I guess I don't have an excuse not to make one now that we have plenty of apples.
