Spontaneous Apple Picking

This week has been crazy. Daddy's only night at home was Tuesday and we decided to make the best of it. It is a blessing that, right now, we live only ten minutes from Erwin Orchards, so as soon as dad got home from work we whisked the kids away on a family adventure. I've learned already that family outings don't always live up to expectations, especially with a 15 month old and 1 month old, but this one exceeded my wildest dreams! Colette loved every minute of it! We got there just in time to hop on the next wagon to take us out into the orchards and quickly filled a bag of McIntosh and Gala. Colette was having so much fun up on daddy's shoulders picking apples and then eating them! Once on the ground she was overwhelmed by the food all around her feet (her Heaven considering she loves eating food on the floor!). She thought she was queen of the world when we got back on the wagon. When we got back we filled our bellies with apple cider and warm, fresh donuts. Obviously we all enjoyed that. In the meantime, Maelyn was sleeping away in the Moby. We took Colette to check out the Hay Maze, and then came the best part of the night...the goats. Oh my goodness, Colette loved the goats! She had no fear and walked up to them squealing away. Daddy showed her how to feed them and she had a blast letting them lick her hands. She smacked one goat across the face though when he attempted a lick!! Oh that was a great memory!!!
