APPLES, GRAND KIDS, CHILDREN!!!!!

Friday, Zachary, Elyse & I drove to DK Orchards to pick apples. Luke, Lacey, Grace, Caleb, Ava & Jaden met us there. We got there a little early. It started to rain pretty hard. When Luke's family got there, the rain stopped. It didn't start again, until we were done picking apples.

We also got a few tomatoes (picked that morning), a gallon of apple cider and one pumpkin (Elyse caught me in a weak moment).

Not only was it rainy, but it was freezing. We all had on coats, hats and gloves. I remembered our boots, so our feet were cold, but dry.

All bundled up and ready to pick:

Zachary helping Grace fill their basket:


My BIG helper was Jaden. I would pick the apples while he put them in the basket. Each time he laughed really hard. I didn't get the laughter, but it was cute!


Luke picked some at the top of the hill. He posed for me:

We almost pulled away without getting the Gala apples L & L paid for:


Finally loaded up:


After all our work, we rewarded ourselves with Taco Bell:


Jaden really likes Taco Bell - he ate a whole bunch:


Z, E & I stayed the night at L & L's house. On Saturday, we watched the grands while L & L went to a wedding. We sure had a full weekend. It was a lot of fun!
