Ryan finally got a Saturday off of work, so we decided to take full advantage of it. We went apple picking at a local fruit farm. We were surprised at how many there were up here! This one has 26 kinds of apples to choose from. They also gave tractor rides out to the other side of the orchard, which the kids loved.
The folks working at the farm said we were free to try the apples. We found a couple that we really liked: Suncrisp, Crispin and Fortune. We hadn't heard of any of these. Ryan likes Granny Smith, but everyone knows about those ones. Who knew we would learn so much about apples in New York. In the picture below, you will notice that Toree doesn't have enough teeth to eat apples without cutting them, so Ryan had to cut pieces off for her.
The kids were able to sit on the tractor. Toree initially asked us if she could do it and we told her to ask the driver. She pushed Joel into asking the driver who obviously said yes. Who can refuse a cute 3 year old boy (while he is being well behaved)?!
Like I said earlier, we got to try a lot of apples and by the end, we were kind of sick of them. Good thing we got 23 pounds of them!!
More baby pics to come. Nick slept during the entire event.
