12th Annual Apple Picking Adventure

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 12 years that we’ve enjoyed this event together!  The very first time I ventured into the apple orchard with 2 little ones in tow Victoria was 2 and Rebecca was 1.  Ever since then it’s been an annual tradition and Hannah loves it too.  The older girls begin checking their calendars early in August to ensure we find a weekend that works for all of us.

After riding the wagon back to the orchards the girls humoured me with our annual ‘walking through the apple orchard’ picture.  This one was for Mommy.

This was the one Hannah preferred!

I had heard that our warmer than usual spring had played havoc with the apple orchards and that there were not as many apples but the trees were heavy with them. 

While the girls picked the apples I captured some pictures of my beautiful daughter and nieces.

I cannot tell you how thankful I am for the beautiful friendship that these girls share.  Truly their friendship is a gift from God.

The love of my life and me.

Can you hear her saying, ‘I do it myself!’

Once our bag was full to overflowing we enjoyed a few yummy apples. 

Mmmm…juicy!!

Another fun apple picking adventure it behind us and we’ve already talked about how much fun we’ll have next year.  Oh how I love these girls!
