Simply Delicious!

On Columbus Day we decided to drive way too far into Indiana and go apple picking. We went with our cousins The Kelly's and our friends The Sullivan's. Jack stayed at home with his Dad as we felt that it would be too long of a day for him. We walked and we picked and we ate and we finally drove home ready for bed. A fun time was had by all! We rode a tractor for a long time to get to the apples we wanted. We had mixed feelings. Some of us were over dressed and too hot. Others didn't want to be there. Most of us were just looking at Uncle Jerry and wondering why he had an ice cream and we didn't!
Annabelle loved picking apples for about five minutes!!
My two Aunts Sandra and Aishling. Sandra was visiting from Ireland for a few days and thought it would be a fun experience. Little did she know that mosquito's love foreign blood! She was eaten alive.
Annabelle and her cousin Grainne. Breaking all the rules and eating unwashed apples.

Annabelle wasn't happy with the apples she could reach...oh no! She had to have the ones that were out of reach! Her cousin Helena helped her find the best ones!

After a long day of walking and picking apples, Kate, Grainne and Annabelle enjoyed some good taffy apples complements of Auntie Sandra. Thanks!

We know all too well about those "moments". You mean they continue to happen? Just kidding...

Glad you survived the heat and mosquitoes...that's why apple-picking was designed for the cool, crisp weather. Sweatshirts and chili are supposed to be a MUST. Too bad last weekend wasn't cooperating. That darn Global Warming....
