Apple Picking

Word on the street is the apples this season are nice and big already because of the early rain we got this spring. So we hopped out to Connor's Farm Monday with Mom's Group to do some picking.

Of course, we first had to stop at the corn box. And the sand box. And the hay bale maze.


And the hayride.


And have a little apple cider donut.


And the massive hay bale pyramid (of death -- had the Mom's a bit worried, but no injuries were sustained).

And the water pumps (Vivie was soaked and required a new shirt)

And finally, finally ... apple picking.

Afterwards we took a stab at the 7 acre mega-corn maze. This started well ... I think we had 10 kids and 5 moms slugging our way through the labyrinth. Half way through Pip and Viv had a melt down because I insisted Pip stop yanking on the corn ... and soon they both wanted to be carried. Ugh-oh. We sat, literally, at an impasse for a long time until Mommy Janel came to our rescue with the double Bob stroller and whisked Vivie up for me. I was able to carry Pip from there. I think we made it about half way through and saw an out through the stalks. Ok, it was illegal, but it needed to be done. Maybe we'll try it again another day with Daddy!
