Apple Picking at Bauman Orchards

On Thursday morning, Oct. 3rd, Hazel and I joined our church playgroup to go apple picking at Bauman Orchards. We have gone there every year and always enjoy ourselves. We were a little concerned that it might rain but it turned out to be a warm, sunny, perfect apple picking day. 

Hazel tried so hard to get this apple off the tree but just wasn't strong enough. After that, she just worked on eating it and left the picking to me.

Kortnie Haslam and her little guy, Christian trying to get some good ones.

Always more fun with friends!

My helper saying, "cheese."

A very nice, older gentleman who worked at the orchard came over and told our little group where a couple honeycrisp trees were that still had some apples. Total score for us because they didn't cost any extra!

Checking out the animals in the barn. I could not separate Hazel from that apple! She even dropped it in the dirt and I had to wrestle it out of her dirty hands to rinse it off before she kept eating it. 

The new miniature donkey was a huge hit.

Oh well, close enough.

Hazel wasn't too sure about the hay bale maze but walked through it with me. 

Then back to eating that super yummy apple.

Found this little leaf in Kourtnie's driveway. Made my day a little brighter.

I'm so excited that all the fall fun has officially begun. Pumpkin patch here we come!
