Apple Picking September 18, 2011

So, we planned to go apple picking about 6 weeks in advance. As what has become the new normal, when we plan something with our entire family it rains. Today was no exception. We decided to go apple picking anyways and try to enjoy ourselves. Rachel was a great sport, being 9 months pregnant and chasing around Caroline!
Caleb and Kendall has so much fun seeing their cousins Caroline and Isaac. Here is a picture of Kendall and Caroline. Kendall is trying to hold Caroline still.
Terry was able to come today and the kids loved seeing him there. He is coaching right now, so time with Dad doesn't happen nearly enough in their opinions. Here is Kendall trying out a tractor.
Caleb did a great job picking apples. The place had a rule that we each had to have a bag. So, we ended up with 4 big bags of apples. I am going to be doing a lot of baking over the next few weeks!
Caleb finally gets putting his face into these silly cutouts. He thinks they are hilarious. These are pictures that he has to see on my phone immediately. I love hearing his giggles!
Kendall also decided to join in the fun too!

Caleb was such a ham today. He did a great job posing for the camera. Now, if I could just get him to do this for Michelle when she photographs my kids!
Here is my best try of getting both to pose in a cute back drop. Caleb did great Kendall refused to look at me! Grrr!



They had pedal cars here. Kendall so wanted to try them but she wasn't strong enough to pedal.
Caleb did better, with the little ones. But, he was insistent that he wanted to ride on the big ones too. Those were much harder!
Caleb remembered the rooster from last year. He jumped right on wanting a photo.
Kendall also wanted to go on. Micah was a good sport and jumped in for a picture. Noah, Lindsey, Adam, and Nikko came along as well. They spent most of their time in the dry food area. Probably smart, but we did have fun!


Caleb enjoyed playing on the playground.
So did Kendall. She ran and ran. I think it felt good to them because it warmed them up.
Caleb also remembered the cow ride from last year. He hopped on the first cow. I think these are hysterical!
Kendall loved the ride as well. She looked so much older this year riding in them.
Of course, truly funny was Mike riding in the cow. We all got a good laugh. He is such a good sport. He will hop on anything-be it cow or camel with the kids. What great memories!
