Apple Picking

We took the boys apple picking this weekend.  It was cooler than I had expected when we left the house so an emergency trip to Target to get Gabe a hat was in order.  After trying to get him to pick a hat, we just found one and left. 

We drove over to Belleville Eckerts Farm and arrived before the crowds.  It was great, we walked right up to a waiting tractor and wagon and got he seats at the very top.  Gabe was in heaven sitting up there.  It was a little chilly for him at times, but we had fun.

We had the rows to ourselves for the most part.  It was nice to not worry about other people and just let the boys enjoy the rows of apple trees.
 Gabe wanted his own bag to fill and carried that most of the time.  I was pretty impressed with him.

Bennett's first real apple - success!

We had so much fun apple picking year.  I'm glad the weather was a little cooler - it finally felt like fall.  It kept the crowds away and allowed us to have fun.  Now time to make an apple pie.
