Apple Picking

What better way to celebrate fall than by picking apples?  Every year this is one of my favorite things.  It is just such and enjoyable family outing. 

The boys LOVE the tractor ride. Grandpa Jack was going to join us, but since he was feeling a bit under the weather Nonna came instead.

Don't you just love Will's battle wound?  He ran just a little too quickly down the driveway the other day.

 

They are too cute searching out the best apples to put into our bag. Max took the job very seriously.  He was such a sweet big brother and he would call Will over when he found a good apple and let Will pick it off the tree. I think Will may have been happy just to wander around and eat his apple.

My poor Max.  He wanted so badly to eat an apple out in the orchard, but his two bottom teeth are just too loose to allow for apple eating.  He tried his best to naw on the apple with his side teeth, but it didn't work too well. 

Grandpa Jack was going to join us, but since he was feeling a bit under the weather Nonna came instead.  Will was too funny and he insisted that any apple he picked must go into Nonna's bag, not Mommy or Daddy's.  For the most part sweet little Jack enjoyed the trip too.  It was a beautiful day with amazing weather.  He started to fuss a bit towards the end, but lucky for us Eckert's is a well oiled machine.  As soon as we were ready to go so was the tractor.

Next up, pumpkin picking :)
