Apple Picking // 2014

As has become our yearly September tradition, we spent Sunday morning apple picking at a local orchard. Admittedly, I’m in it for the bounty of cider donuts at the end of the excursion, but I don’t mind the abundance of fresh apples that fills our pantry following this yearly event. It was especially delightful to share the experience with dear friends and their littles. I absolutely adore the picture above of our girls with Courtland’s FGP’s oldest daughter. They’re growing up so dang quickly (and beautifully, I might add!).

^^New England fall makes be all glowy with joy. My friends’ son grabbed this candid when he asked to try using the camera, and Sunny loved it so much that she insisted that I share it with all of you.^^

^^How I adore these women. Especially G’s expert tick prevention measures, including pants tucked in to socks.^^

Last night we baked our first of many apple pies, and unbeknownst to me, James and the girls shared breakfast over said pie this morning. I like their style, even if it makes for questionable parenting decisions.
