In honor of my Great Grandma Bea's 96th birthday some of my extended family got together at the Carpenter Nature Center to pick apples at the orchard and have a picnic lunch. When Mary and Joe's kids were younger they would take Grandma Bea to the apple orchard and have a picnic lunch by the river for her birthday. Mary decided it would be fun to relive that tradition and invited us to join them. It was a great day and a perfect time of year to pick apples! We hope to continue the tradition with them in the years to come!
Larkyn was very interested in picking apples and Mary enjoyed helping her!
"Reach Mama Reach!"
Larkyn and I "shared" a Sweet 16 apple. She ate the majority of it! We paid for it tonight as she had a very red bottom:(.
After "lift, twist and pull" put it in the bag...
Kayce and Larkyn walking to the next row of apples. We picked Macintosh next to use for apple sauce and apple crisp!
Larkyn's turn at the apple...
She had enough with the help, she wanted to do it on her own. The grass was pretty thick in between the trees so she had a hard time walking without falling many times!
"Happy Fall Everyone!!!"
"What do you mean I have to take this apple out of my mouth?"
The Family Gang plus us:
My uncle Rick and cousin Kayce, Uncle Joe and Aunt Mary, and Cousin Tory and her fiance Travis

(He wanted this picture for his funeral. Apparently he's been planning his own. Why he is talking about his funeral...we don't know!!!)

Checking out the boats on the river
Pooping or just looking at boats still???
LOVE the face!
This is when I knew I should be done taking pictures. This was her "don't even think about taking another shot" look:)
