For the past seven years, it has been our tradition to trek out to the apple orchard and pick our own apples. This is one of our really fun family experiences. I'm guessing God gave us great times like this to offset the dinner hour, bedtime stress and trips with our kids in the car. Because these are the times that I look at my children and see each one individually. I watch Scooby carefully look through the trees for the "perfect" apple, and notice that Spike is more interested in quantity than quality. I see Boo trying to set a record for how many apples you can eat while walking through the apple orchard. And there is Baby in the backpack carrier laughing and grunting for more bites of apple. I am thankful for these moments. It makes me feel especially blessed to be a mom and especially proud of my children. Hope you enjoy these pics. And if it doesn't inspire you to go to the apple orchard, it just might make you hungry for an apple pie!
