Mason Appleseed

Have you ever been apple picking? If not, you should definitely go! It's the coolest thing...you get to walk through the orchard with your awesome apple-picking-stick-thingie and fill your bag till you have a peck. Then you can hang out by an apple wood fire, sip on cider and just take in the beautiful scenery and autumn smells. The three of us had a grand time this weekend picking apples which we turned into Apple Crisp at home. Yum Yum Yum. While we were picking apples Andy asked if this time next year Mason will be climbing the apple trees. Uhhh....he'll just be over a year old and probably barely walking., but we'll see! 

Notice the apple-picking-stick-thingie? I thought it was incredibly genius.
What a multi-tasker! Baby carrying, bag holding and apple picking. Wow, what a guy.
I wish you could see Mason's outfit-blue jeans and a green flannel. He looked like a lumber jack :) (not that I'm an outfitty type of Mom, but boy, was it cute!)



Watch the expert at work (yeah, right).


Orchards would lose big time money on me because I just stare and stare at the trees dripping with apples looking for the perfect one. It's very sad when the perfect apple is just beyond the stick-thingie's reach or the one you are going for plummets to the ground. Sad, very sad.
