Apple Tradition


One of the benefits of living in New England is the chance to go apple picking. Since Nick had the weekend off we decided to take the trip to Peabody and it was great. The guy who was helping to run the farm told us there were only a few apples left on the trees since it was so late in the season, but we managed to find quite a few. We also got some great pictures, I wish I could post them all, but then our blog would be too full.

Nick and Ali walking down an apple lane.


We got to take a hayride out to the fields which was quite fun but dusty. Kat, of course, slept for most of the time.


She did, however, wake up when I tried to get Ali to hold her for a picture. She is a fan of Ali holding her, but not when it is pretty chilly outside. She just wanted back in the Bjorn.


Ali, so proud of her apple. She really had fun picking apples. Last year she was still too little to have much fun, but this year she really got into it. She would run to a tree when she saw lower apples and yell, "look an apple, momma I see an apple." Needless to say, she said it a lot.
