Johnny Appleseed

Friday I took the boys up to Riley's Farm in Oak Glen to pick apples. It was a beautiful day, warm sunshine with a crisp breeze. We had a great time.


We picked apples.


And made wishes




We found a birds nest


Cooper tried to hide apples in this tree


We ate apples, I don't know what kind they are but they are sweet and crunchy just the way we like 'em.



The boys sat on a tracktor

And climbed on hay bales.

We also got to feed goats, run though a pumpkin patch, play in mud, climb big hills, pump water, eat a picnic lunch, find candy corn that Corbin can eat (no eggs), bump into a teacher friend of mine with two kids the same ages as Corbin and Cooper, drink fresh apple cider, dance on a little stage, and enjoy the fresh air. It was a great day... and the kids slept really well that night.

This is what I would call a PERFECT DAY!
Shannon, the Riley's (at least a segment of them) were our friends when we lived in Buena Park. They had a daughter your age whose name was Shannon and you were friends. Since you were only a young'n then I don't know if you remember her. The mom, Rhonda, is a great artist and has painted family portraits for Nancy.

What a great fall activity! We are out 'doing' as much as we possibly can too before snow hits the ground and we are on winter-house-arrest.

Fresh apple cider is yummy! Love the pictures-especially Cooper making wishes. You got two adorable little boys there!

That is a perfect day!

It seems we skipped autumn here in Utah... one day it was nice and the next day was snowing... brrr! Today is a more typical autumn day, but when the leaves are still green and there's snow on the ground somethin's just not right!!

I was going to go out there friday to. That would have been weird if I ran into you guys there! Looks like you had a good time!

Mom- I didn't know we had ties to the farm. I should have asked for a discount on my apples (smile)

What an awesome outing! Mud, candy, animals... a boy's dream come true.

Looks like you had a blast! I can't wait until Quinn is old enough to do that kind of thing. I am glad you got them all tuckered out!
