Apple time!

Earlier this month we took the boys to the apple farm to pick apples.  There was hail earlier in the summer (remember the siding?) and so many of the apple were damaged, though still edible.  Eliot found this little apple that was just perfect.

Every time Peter picked an apple he wanted me to take a picture of it.  This was one of the few pictures where the apple was not obscuring his face.

Peter carried the bag of apples, at least for as long as it took to take the picture, then he handed it back to me.  Ten dollars worth of apples is pretty heavy for one little boy to carry on his own.

Picking out some pre-Halloween pumpkins to decorate the house with.  Eliot was very good at pulling it all on one of their little carts.  He took the job very seriously.

Peter picked out the perfect Peter-sized pumpkin.

The farm is a great place to make new friends.

What a great experience. I too bought a pumpkin to make the pies for Thanksgiving dinner. I prefer to use the real pumpkin ra ther than the canned. We celebrate Thanksgiving the 2nd Monday in October in Canada. We had a great feast at Schneiders. How was your trip to Montreal? Good job, Eliot & Peter picking those apples.
