We were going to pick our own apples, but it was easier to just let Jacob wander the paths and then buy a bag of apples in the shop. He had a lot of fun picking apples off the ground, just like last year. The difference now is that he can throw them really far. There was also a big pile of hay to play on. We all brought home a little sampling of it in our clothes. Jacob's favorite part of the orchard was the maze. We spent quite awhile going around and around. In the middle were a bunch of animal statues, and he kept petting them. We realized that we need to get him to a farm sometime, because he kept calling the pig a "doggy."
We came home with a bag of Honeycrisp apples (my favorite), 2 slices of apple pie, and some strawberry preserves. Jacob and I were at the orchard earlier this summer helping to pick some strawberries, and it really made me want the preserves. I've only eaten half the jar in 4 days. Well, the baby and I have been eating them, so splitting it between 2 people isn't so bad, right?
This would have been a nice picture of Jacob and Mommy, but he decided to look away. Then he decided no more pictures.

Daddy needed to taste an apple off the ground too.

Sliding off the haystack, which was really fun and did not result in bringing home a bunch of hay in somebody's diaper

That looks like it was a really fun day for all of you. Pretty special and lots of memories. So fun to see Jacob experience all the fresh new wonders of life.
Love G & G B.
