Apple Picking

A few weeks ago, we decided to venture back to Highland Orchards for our 2nd annual tradition of apple picking.  Evan was willing to stand in front of the pumpkins for a few seconds and Eric is always happy to pose for photos at this age:

I love the look on Eric's face in this picture - he's not quite too sure of this apple picking thing:

My three guys:

Evan enjoyed apple picking.  He would pick an apple, take 2-3 bites, pick the next apple and drop his first one on the ground . . . and repeat . . . and repeat.  We left probably 7-8 partially eaten apples in our path:

 He was excited to pick the apples that were at his level:

Pulling extra hard to get this one out:

Mr Happy as usual:

I look forward to this tradition every year.  Upon returning home, we cooked up a huge batch of apple sauce which we froze and can give to Eric in the coming months. 



If you want to see how much Evan has changed in a year, here is a link to last year's apple picking trip: http://www.felttales.blogspot.com/2011/09/apple-day.html
