Grandma came to visit and we went apple picking nearby...
Two handfuls!

Here, take a taste!

When we got home, it was time to make applesauce and apple crisp!

We had lots of farm fun with Josie and Hayley at the Winter Farm Festival

Drumlin Farm with Aunt Jaki!

Is that a monkey swinging from the tree?

Later, back at home....

Aunt Jaki is a VERY good sport...

come visit us again soon!

 

We went apple picking with the Walshes!

Finally, ice cream in the meadow. idyllic.

Noah took some great pictures at Drumlin too!

On our way to strawberry picking at Drumlin Farm!

We took a hayride to the strawberry fields (daddy took this picture of us)

Our friends Noah and Ezra and their parents
Tim and Tania came with us and we had a blast!

Noah ate about a million strawberries right in the field!

Ezra, Noah and Noah...
silly boys!
Mommy's planning to make strawberry freezer jam tonight or tomorrow -
this whole outing was inspired by a post at GetRichSlowly - thanks Kris & JD!

Now that we've discovered Drumlin farm (<30 minutes from us!),
you are sure to see more pictures from there later this summer.
