Apple Orchard

It was time once again for our apple orchard weekend with the Smith family We went to an apple orchard in the cities this year to change things up. It was a little bit chilly out, but we were all dressed and ready to pick some apples. The kids spent time picking their own apples and following the rules while the big kids played a game of let's throw apples at each other. :) We got all of our apples and made our way to Jolene's house to make apple pies. My dad, Chris, and Jolene took over the apple pie making duties this year. After lots of playing together with all the cousins, we went to Soren's soccer game to take in more of the fall weather and to cheer on Soren. Afterward, we went back to Jolene's for supper and apple pie. The daddies took the kiddos outside for awhile too to play football and run around before the sun went down. It was a fun fall afternoon and evening. I look forward to this weekend every year. It has become a great tradition that I hope we continue for a long time to come.
