We have established a tradition now... when fall arrives we go apple picking!
Last year we were dressed in winter gear and Aubrey was in a snow suit...
this year it was 85 degrees! What a BEAUTIFUL day!!
We went to a nearby farm and picked apples, ate apples, played in corn, picnicked, picked pumpkins, rode ponies, and shared a great time with good friends!
There has been a lot going on lately in this crazy thing we call life... our day at Kuipers Family Farm truly resemble what God breathed when you read:
"This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!" - Psalm 118:23-25

We are off to pick some apples!!
Aubrey began running around looking for apples IMMEDIATELY!!
There were apples all over the ground because it was the last weekend of apple picking.
All of the apples on the ground made one thing VERY EASY...
Aubrey and the kids had everything they needed with in reach and they ate...
and ate...
and ate....
She also helped us pick our apples.
Aubrey did a great job finding them on her own...
Once Aubrey was done picking she sat down with her great gal pal Olivia
and they enjoyed the days weather and work...
After our bags were filled we sat and enjoyed the day with great friends...
Mario, Leigh, and their daughter Olivia.
Colleen, Bob, and their son Kevin.
And of course... US!
Leigh was very proud of her ONLY FROM THE TREE apples!
We had two bags until...
Aubrey broke one trying to get apples and then Evan had a great idea...
We have made apple pies and apple cakes since our day of picking!
