We decided to pass up talk like a pirate day activities in Old Town and go apple picking instead. I was sad we missed strawberries and peach picking this year but made sure to get some good apples. It was the perfect apple picing day, sunny and cool weather. It is about mid apple season here so some of the apple trees were picked over but there were so many. It was so beautiful. We went out to Poolsville MD and saw some beautiful 'princess' houses as Siena would call them. She pretended that she was Diego and took pictures of them with her pretend camera click. It kept her entertained for the 45 minute drive. She was so excited when we got there. We got a wheelbarrow and off we went. Ben stayed in the wheel barrow most of the time and ate the apples we picked. Siena was on the lookout for a ladder to climb to get to the top of the trees. She loved picking the ones that were just her height and she made sure not to pick up the squished ones on the ground. She was an excellent apple picker. We got lots of varieties and some are in the oven right now drying. We will see how they turn out. We bought a lot and are planning on making lots of applesauce! We loved looking at all the animals and are looking forward to October when we can pick pumpkins and go on a hayride.
the kids were exhausted when we got in the car. Siena was just so excited to pick apples she would run and sing and dance in the fields. She had a lot of energy to run off. I don't think she took a breath the whole time she was running and singing. excuse the bumpy camera work.
