Apple Picking!

We brought the whole clan out apple picking yesterday!  It was our first trip out into the real world with all the kids (when we weren’t going to the doctor) and oh boy!, was it fun!  Our friends Aaron and Janaisa have a daughter a year and a half older than Gwen, and the girls love to play together.  Last time we all got together they offered that if we wanted to go apple picking (one of our favorite Autumn activities that we were planning on skipping this year), they were willing to go with us, and could help with the babies.  Naturally, we jumped at the opportunity!

The weather couldn’t have been any nicer.  Gwen and Kenzi had a blast playing and picking apples and Aaron lived vicariously through our trio, carrying Holden in the back pack all day.  We brought the quad stroller, in case Gwen and Kenzi got tired of walking, but it worked better to contain Tess, Nora, and all our apples.  It was fun showing the kids that there is a world outside our house filled with beauty and wonder.  Not to mention giving them their first taste of real, fresh apples!

And naturally, what blog post wouldn’t be complete without a ton of pictures?  I guess it’s to be expected when you have a ton of kids that you’ll be taking tons of pictures… LOL!  Here are the photo highlights:

Aaron, holding Kenzi's and Gwen's hands, with Holden on his back Aaron, helping Kenzi pick an apple, with Holden enjoying the branches Gwen, "Found me apple" Gwen and Daddy Aaron was helping Gwen into the tree to pick an apple Nora is enjoying her first taste of a fresh apple, Tess looks jealous, although she didn't really care for the Cortlands. Gwen Holden's first taste of a real apple Oh man, does he love it!! Tess and Nora; they're so cute! Gwen's picking her own apple "Me two apples" Eat one, save the other - smart kid! Aaron and Holden Eating more of that apple.  She'll be good and regular for the next few days. Kenzi and Gwen running and playing Gwen and Kenzi running and playng in the orchard Tony, wrangling Kenzi and Gwen Gwen in the pumpkins Gwen was sad and confused about the broken pumpkin After she touched its insides she freaked out.  The OCD is strong with this one. Gwen is so serious.  She's going to save the world one day. Tess razzing and Nora charming Kenzi with Holden, Nora and Tess in the pumpkins Kenzi, Holden, Nora and Tess Gwen didn't want to take a break from pumpkin inspecting for picture taking and this was the best we could get out of her for a group photo. Holden, Nora and Tess Nora and Tess; Tess is clearly not an outdoor girl Gwen looks so cute amidst the farm happenings.  She liked the silo, it reminded her of Curious George Holden and Nora were happy playing on the ground.  Tess not so much; Daddy had to play games with her to keep her happy.
