Saturday was a busy day that started with a party at the soccer field. First, Kaleb & Kathryn and Bryce & Emmy came to watch Chase play for a little bit. After his game we all headed over to watch Kaleb play too!
Soccer buddies. It's too bad they aren't in the same division but at least they play close to the same time each week so they get to see each other.
After soccer we made a lunch stop at the Hanover Republican picnic then it was off to Carter Mountain to eat donuts pick apples. I'm not one to take pictures of trees on the side of the road, but this one was really pretty and we were sitting still on the road looking at it for quite some time! Apparently everyone had the same idea on Saturday.
Traffic was pretty crazy. It was stop and go all the way to the top of the mountain. It was so not my cup of tea to be stuck on the side of a mountain with a drop-off a foot to my right and no escape! We made it to the top and even though there were tons of cars, it wasn't really too crowded (meaning, we were able to get donuts in less than 10 minutes.)
The kids happy to be out of the car!
Seeing how many apples taller they've grown since last year.
Taylor is getting closer and closer to Chase!
Making a jack-o-lantern face.
Completely over taking pictures.
The donuts arrived. Why not just lick the sugar off?
We actually did get to the apple picking part.
Taylor pulled down half the tree with her apple.
The pretty day and abundance of apples and short lines for donuts may have been enough to compensate for the crazy drive up the hill to get there. When we got out of the car we agreed it might be the last of our "tradition" trips! We'll see.
We had to park so far from the barn that we didn't even bother to take our apple picker with us! Dave had to reach the high ones but luckily there were plenty even low enough for the kids to get themselves.
Happy apple-eaters.
