Apple Picking





We went apple picking at a new orchard this year, Mountain Orchard. It had some great activites for the kids. The straw jump, the corn maze, the wagon ride and of course apple picking.


Even though the apples were all off the trees this year due to an early frost we still had fun. Picking apples out of bins in the orchard is more fun than at the grocery store, surprisingly.
Here Ronan and Matthew are leaving the orchard with 2 bags full, one for eating and one for baking.

Butterflies

Ronan jumped right into the experience at the local butterfly exhibit on Sunday. As soon as we walked in there was a butterfly to hold on an orange.
