Today was one of those beautiful fall days in Southern Ontario. The kind of day that is BEGGING you to do something hearty and meaningful outdoors. Just enough sun to make it warm, just enough cool breeze to remind you that fall is here.
So, on this fall day, my family attempted our first apple picking at a local orchard. And, well, I don’t think I could articulate properly how awesome the experience was for The Boy, the sensory overload, the variable banquet of ready-to-eat apples, the numerous hiding spots…so why don’t I let him narrate the pictures for you?
Now, these sure look like the apples I have become accustomed to…
And they taste like those red globes that are generally pulled out of the fridge. Interesting development. I wonder if anyone is going to mind that I ate two or three bites out of a bushel full?
But in the end, picking apples was entirely dull compared to making my parents chase me through the orchard as I attempted to elude their grasp. The open spaces. The large branches that kept whipping my parents in the face. Ah, our next house needs an orchard. I’ve decided.
But nothing, I mean NOTHING, beats the fun I had picking rocks on the dirt path. Seriously, I could have picked those rocks all day long.
Absolutely adorable! Your baby is growing into the most handsome boy – sounds like you are savouring every moment!
I’m seriously in love with your kid. We need to get ours together one day soon adn watch the craziness!
What a beautiful boy you have!!
Days like today are the ones that will stay with you forever! I vividly remember a similar outing with Cam when he was little and it makes me smile to think about it.
Great post!
Looks like an amazing day! I know Pea had just as amazing a time when we went strawberry picking earlier this year! Seems you took full advantage of an awesome day.
Another wonderful experience for The Boy in the great outdoors which he loves so very much. A wonderful family day!!!
There is nothing better than seeing the world through the eyes of a child!
Awesome! Isn’t it amazing how the world around them is full of such wonder? Good for you for recognizing the big picture instead of just the apple part. Sounds like a wonderful day for all.
