A Beautiful Day for Apples

{Sweet brother pulling his sister}

I had mentioned earlier that we went to the apple orchard.  That was a few weeks ago, but due to constant colds, respiratory problems, and ear infections, I haven't had a chance to post some pictures from our trip.  

The weather was absolutely perfect.  The morning started out a little chilly and warmed up as the day progressed--it actually felt like a Fall day.  We decided to try out a new orchard, Grandad's Apples in Hendersonville.  

We have a lot here in Charlotte, but there are two things we don't have that I wish we did: a zoo and an apple orchard, both of which you must drive a couple of hours.  Thankfully, the drive to the orchard is through the mountains for half of it, so it felt even more like Fall.

I loved that they were able to see from where an apple actually comes.  Owen loved being our big helper, picking every apple he could reach, so we had to start giving him some guidance.

Owen has a thing about smells. Thankfully, the apples smelled "delicious."

These kiddos love to dance...anywhere, any time.

They had a cute cow ride pulled by a tractor.  It went through a corn field and down by the peach trees.  They both loved it, but I think Owen was slightly more thrilled.  

We wore her out.  She was asleep in five minutes after getting in the car.
