Orchard Fun

On Saturday I took my guys and met Heather and Z at the orchard to pick raspberries and walk around. We had a wonderful time. Here's a great shot she took of Lm...

It's taken me an hour just to prime the photos and load them so they are only in semi-order here. Lm picking an apple from one of the trees...

In the berry patch, cool Miss Z and my Lm...


They are buds...



Awww......so sweet!



Lk picked an apple and ate all including the core, I think...

It's hard to get all 3 together for a perfect pic.







Under the trellis-way (or tunnel or whatever it's called).


Lk pulled a fast one on me! I let him hold the container as we all picked berries. He was so proud of himself and it warmed my heart to see him all proud that he was picking the right ones and putting them in our container. But then...

...that little turkey hands me an empty container out of the blue! I go, What did you do with the berries?! He pointed to some leaves. "WHERE ARE THEY? Did you pour them in Z's bucket?" He shook his head and pointed again. Sure enough, on the ground of a nearby thicket, there they were! I got all scratched up crawling under there with the garden snakes, etc to retrieve the berries that I could.

After that, Mommy held the berry container!



Z looks on after Lm steals her sunglasses...


Last night he wore his own sunglasses to bed. He just loves wearing hats and glasses!







I love this shot of Luke!








Gorgeous flower backdrop!












In the tunnel again...


Here's a good shot with my camera (the new camera that is NOT to be touched by anyone under the age of like 25)!


Mommy looks on as her twinkies ramble under the tunnel.

Heather got this shot of them walking the beam!





Next we walked the long trail through the whole orchard.




Would this not make a great poster with some cloying, inspiring quote beneath it??



Next we treated the kids to lunch at the local restaurant. The service there is tortoise-slow and they were bouncing off the walls (and under the table).





When we got home I hoped they would take nice long naps for me but Lk was so excited he wouldn't go down and then finally he snoozed for 40 minutes. I hope they are not growing out of their afternoon naps just yet!

Where's that at? How fun! You're so good at taking children's pictures. That one of the three with their backs to you is GREAT.
