Time for Apple Pickin'

Every fall, the boys' preschool has a field trip to Eckert's Farm in Milstadt for some apple picking. This year, the weather was absolutely beautiful, if a little warmer than we'd have liked. Everyone had a great time grabbing some apples, drinking apple cider, and then feeding some goats and camels.

Luke, Daniel, and Will waiting to board the wagons:

They had a ball drawing "A"s in the dirt b/c "A" is for apple!

Colin spent our waiting time on my back, which usually makes him pretty happy, but his newfound "I want to be a big boy" mentality (see earlier post!) made it pretty difficult today. He just wanted to be playing in the dirt with the big boys!

Havin' some lunch, just 'cause it's cute--C-man has decided he wants to eat his sandwiches like a big boy now. No torn-up pieces for him!

Overall, a great morning! It would have only been better if William had been able to go, too. Poor little guy had a rough day. He refused to get out of the car at drop-off because he wanted to go apple picking, then managed to fall off of the monkey bars at school at noon recess, necessitating a trip to the ER! Thankfully, everything was fine, but he gave Mommy a pretty good scare!
