Three weeks ago Mark, Eli, Baby Boy, and I joined my family for our annual Apple Picking weekend. This year we decided to do things a little differently and relocated our festivities to LakeNear (my parent's place in the mountains of western VA.) The setting may have been different but the memories and fun made together were just as priceless as years past. Here are a few of the highlights from our weekend:
Each morning began with a little cousin breakfast bonding
There were also some "tractor" rides with Grandaddy (Erin and I may have joined in on the fun too!)
We enjoyed a yummy pre-apple-picking picnic lunch...albeit some VERY chilly and WINDY conditions. Not really any pics of the meal but the kiddos had a blast playing at a nearby creek.
Our family hill-rolling tradition continued...I did NOT roll this year.
There was a bit of posing with some pumpkins
A Blacksmith Lesson
And some Apple-Picking of course!
There may have been a stop for some ice-cream on our way back afterwards. Picking apples is hard work!
The guys treated us to a Mega-Pancake, bacon, and egg breakfast on Sunday morning. It was delicious and a wonderful treat to us ladies, especially!
And most of all, there was plenty of quality-time with everyone together. We are blessed!
