There's nothing like a fresh apple! So we decided to take a little road trip to the mountains to pick one right off the tree! Michelle and Lily met us and we all road up to Hendersonville together! The girls had a blast riding together and watching Dora in G's SUV! (Thanks G for letting us borrow it!). We brought a picnic lunch and when we got there, we laid out our blankets and had a fun picnic in the field/parking area. Our picnic basket made the perfect little table for Abby and Lily to dine off of -- it was just their size :). After lunch we looked at the BIG pumpkins and then took a ride on the cow train - yes, you read correctly - the cow train. Check out our pics and you'll understand :). The girls LOVED this!!! But Michelle and I were worried we'd get stuck in this thing! Luckily, we peeled ourselves out without any embarassment! Now for the real fun -- apple pickin! Golden Delicious were ripening today and boy were they huge and plentiful. We showed Abby and Lily how to pick em and eat them right off the tree! They LOVED IT!! AND I DID TOO! Thanks Marshall for cutting up our apples!!! After our fun venture picking apples, we wheeled into the barn to get some other kinds of apples and we ran into some fellas playing Bluegrass on the back porch. This was the icing on the cake for Abby - she loves guitars and she even starting dancing with them! We did a little shopping and piled back into the car to head back home...with a homeade apple turnver and pastry in hand to enjoy as we left - YUM! We had a super time and I can't wait to do it again next fall! Did I mention I love fall time!?
These silly girls didn't quite get the picture taking process with the props! Time for Apple Pickin'! Marshall gets the first pick!!
