APPLE PICKING

Today we went apple picking. Last year, we missed going with the group and apple picked on our own. I did post pictures last year. This year it was soooo much fun for the kids to do it with their cousins and friends(who we call cousins). Here is the group and then an attempt at a family shot:) Uncle Gene helped Mommy with the camera this year because Daddy had to be in Boston in the a.m. for work:( To get to the apple trees, a hay ride is necessary. We lucked out in getting the driver who balances apples on his head as he drives. The kids love to watch and then imitate(notice Danny). O.k. Uncle Gene is always the one the older girls love to get a picture with...Although this has been from the time they were toddlers. Next in line will be Catherine(the young blond girl) and JiaLi. JiaLi was very proud of finding this "little" apple (you really need to hear her say little) and then that was all she wanted to find--she ate the one seen in the picture. Mommy couldn't resist getting at least some pumpkins--the kids loved these smaller pumpkins--also better on the budget;)
