apple picking

little joshua has no idea how much fun he's had! he's been to the harvest fair and got to see the cows and sheep. he got to watch how they milk the cows and how they shear the sheep. he's been on many hikes where he got to see the changing colors of the fall leaves. he's been to Ottawa, Canada, where he got to see the parliament buildings and the downtown market. and today, he went to the apple orchard!

we had so much fun! the drive to the farm was just beautiful, and today was the perfect fall day... very windy, but perfect nonetheless. when we got there, we got to have a taste of the most amazing pie ever. daddy got some apple wood for his shop
(he is making some nice pens out of it now!). then, we drove down the hill, where we got our bucket and the tractor came to pick us all up. we rode through each section of the orchard, where we were let off and got to pick as many apples as we wanted. when we were done, we would wait for the next tractor to come by and take us to the next section of the orchard, where we could pick another type of apples! the orchard was enormous! it was so beautiful and perfectly kept... there were rows as far as we could see over the rolling hills. we even got to pick our own pumpkins. we really had a good time. that would be the best job ever if i could just pick apples with joshua all day! unfortunately, there weren't any openings for that job.
