Apple Picking

Max continues to gain more confidence and walks more and more each day. Crawling will soon (within days I do believe) be a thing of the past, sadly.
Noelle is very proud of Max and cheers him on most of the time. She has started to push him down because he gets to her faster than before. After she pushes him down she hugs and kisses him, but the initial act is still disciplined. (Below is a picture of Noelle with some dark brown eye shadow spread all over her face. She was so proud of her cosmetic feat we left in for the entire day!)
Saturday, we met up with the Mitzels for some apple picking fun. Noelle was very excited to spend some time with her buds. The crisp, cool weather was utterly perfect compared to the sweltering high 80 degrees we were met with last year at this time.
The wagon ride was a big hit with the kiddos. It went through a decorated forest with a bunch of characters that the children liked to point out. All three little girls had an apple in their hands as quickly as the men could pick them! On the ride back my usual on the go little boy fall asleep against me. It was a rare occasion that I was cherishing!
Fresh donuts and cider were then picked up and we ate them back at our house. When nap time for most of the children approached and meltdowns were not far off, the Mitzel Family headed off. It was a really great fall day, one that seems to be the perfect synonym for fall.

Looks like a fun family day. I love fall for that reason. There is so much fun to enjoy outdoors together.
