Adventures in Apple Picking

We decided to enjoy the fall foliage and invited Nana and Zayde to join us. Up we went to Fishkill Farms (not located in Fishkill but in Hopewell Junction) and a wonderful time was had by all. Here are some highlights.

It started out with fun in the car with Mama and Zayde (that was after Mommy had to go in the front seat to avoid getting sick which put Nana in the driver's seat).


One view of the orchard and the surrounding mountains



Sasha eats his first apple of the day - a Macoun!


Sharing with Nana (this is an activity that is fraught with fun such as pulling back right before you get to take a bite and then laughing in the other persons face)


Sasha meets his first milkweed pod and is understandably entranced
Riding around the orchard without being strapped in!


Crawling around the orchard - the more preferred mode of transport


Playing in the hay after a long day of picking (or crawling, eating, and being carried)


The finished product

  1. I love his mouth full o' teeth!! He's starting to look more and more like a toddler instead of a baby. Can't wait to squeeze him and have him tease me with apple bites in a couple weeks!!

  2. He's really growing into his teeth! They really do make him look "older". Looks like it was a fun day at the orchard for everyone. I bet Sasha loves being "attended to" by four adults! He must feel like a prince!
