Jacob Appleseed

Jacob went to the apple orchard today. It was a lot of fun. We rode on a hay wagon and picked some apples. Well, Jacob ran around in the tall grass and played in the mud while I picked apples. We had a lot of rain yesterday, so the mud was just perfect this morning. Jacob and his jeans approved. His taste buds approved too. This is one thing I would like explained to me: why does Jacob throw Goldfish crackers on the floor, but dip his hands in mud and then lick them off?

Anyway, after the apple picking, we walked through the pumpkin patch. Wait, I should correct that statement. I tried to get Jacob to walk through the pumpkin patch, but he was more interested in walking away from the pumpkins and trying to find more mud.

Jacob's version of picking apples: off the ground

Another way to pick apples: out of the bag after Mommy puts them in

Checking out a pine tree--maybe getting ready to help pick out a Christmas tree?
