Apple Picking

Saturday we went out to Wagon Wheel Orchard in Garnder, KS and picked apples! Aunt Anne, Uncle Todd, Kate, Uncle Aaron, Aunt Laura and Henry joined us there; it was so much fun! It was a nice little orchard run by a man who is related to Johnny Appleseed; pretty cool, huh? He pretty much runs this orchard not to make money (he has a different full time job) but more for giving children an opportunity to come out and have fun picking apples. We were the only ones there for most of our 2 hours we spent there. This was REALLY nice because mommy and daddy let Anna run loose- they weren't too scared of letting her run free (that is until the scary dogs came and Uncle Todd started protecting up with the apple pickers).

We were allowed to pick apples STRAIGHT off the tree and even try before we buy! We had tons of fun doing that (especially Anna) and found some pretty good apples!

We even got to feed two horses apples. Anna loved them and thought they were so funny scratching their necks on the posts. Kate and Henry also liked the horses too; even though one bit Henry (don't worry it didn't break the skin and he was a champ about it).

 YUMMMMMMMMMM! We probably ate a bagful just walking through the orchard. Mommy swears that everytime she saw Anna she was munching on a new apple! We thought it was super fun to just pick and eat!

 And the trees were just my height!

 I picked this one all by myself!

 I even tried the apple picker and did a pretty good job. I could get the apples in the picker but mommy would have to help me pull them off the tree!

 Ashley even picked some!

 And the goats! We fed goats feed and Anna even got to feed the white one a peach!!!

 Pears anyone?!?!?!

 Thanks the Wagon Wheel!
