Beautiful Weather and Apple Picking

We have had the most beautiful week and the weather this weekend has been amazing.  Today's forecast was for a high of 76.  There were no clouds.  It was perfect.  We have been outside non stop for the past two days.  The kids have been playing tag, looking for frogs, catching bugs, playing water balloons, washing cars.  We have had two bonfires.  It has been busy.  It has been awesome.

At Snider Creek looking for Frogs 

They had been asking to wash the car all summer.  I figured this might be their last chance for awhile.  Cheap labor.  All I had to give them were popsicles.  

Two nights of bonfires.   Two nights of mosquito bites and smores.  

We decided it would be a great day to go to the apple orchard.  I love this tradition.  I hope it lasts forever.  I love the kids excitement.  They love running from tree to tree.  Picking apples.  Taking a few bites.  Throwing the apple down.  Repeat.  

This year we asked the Snider Family if they wanted to go with us.  We had a good time, but the kids are starting to outgrow it.  Boo.  I hope that doesn't happen to us.  

It is so nice to have a low key weekend where we can just play and spend time together. 

Excited to be picking apples.  

Two fisted apple eater.  

I remember when we had to lift him to reach the apples.  No Mom needed, only tippy toes.  

So excited to find the biggest apple ever!  He wanted to know if it was as big as his head!

Helping Daddy push.  

Beautiful girl.  She wore her apple jeans for the occasion.  

I'm not sure how many apples this kid ate.  Last week he was "getting way too sick of apples"

I really believe that it is impossible to have 4 people look at the camera and smile.
