Apples!

Last weekend we drove out to Malta, IL to go apple picking! It was a beautiful day, and we all had fun. 

"Cheers!" with apple cider donuts, of course. 

It was hard to remember to twist the apples instead of yanking them.

Mmm, free sample!

After we were done picking, we headed to the play area.

 Driving the tractor

Whee!

Silo full of dried corn kernels--we found a few in her diaper later that day ;)

Feeding the animals

She couldn't wait to "jump on the bed..." until we got out there and she couldn't stay on her feet! This didn't last long; we'll try again next year.

Now we have to figure out what to make with all these apples!
