Picking Apples

Apple picking has always been a fall favorite in Michigan. We decided to hit up a wonderful little Orchard just miles from our house on Saturday. We invited our friends, the Mitzels, to come along. I had no idea that we would be dripping sweat the whole time! Although it was bright and sunny outside, high 80s is not the best weather for a fall activity.

We took a wagon ride out to the orchard and the wagon came back about 15-20 minutes later. That was more than enough time to pick some different varieties of apples and enjoy eating some apples too. After the picking was done and the wagon dropped us back off we headed into the little bakery. Because of the heat we quickly bought some donuts and cider and headed back to the air conditioning at our house. We grilled steaks, hot dogs, and some brats for lunch then let the kids play together until it was time for naps then they headed back home. It was a great Saturday and here are some pictures to enjoy!

This morning, Sunday, Noelle woke up with a swollen shut eye. She received a bug bite Friday evening near the eye and it continued to swell over the last few days. She looks like she went a few rounds in the ring with Mike Tyson!! We took her to the doctor because of the swelling and risk of infection. Luckily, she is okay, here are some pictures!
