Weekend Fun!

Hello from up north! It's cold up here in New York this weekend! Despite the chill, we've managed to have lots of fun with family. Saturday turned out to be a sunny day... perfect for apple picking adventures.



We went to Lindsey's Orchard in Clifton Park with the entire Landers clan. It has a huge orchard of full-size apple trees of many varieties. There are ladders throughout the orchard so that pickers can get reach the apples at the very top. We "picked at our own risk" as the sign said! Tommy and Emma were the only ones old enough to experience the glee of apple picking.



OK, I guess Jimmy experienced the glee as well. Though skeptical at first, Jimmy found himself running through the orchard like a kid in a candy store. He'd eaten about 4 apples before any even made it into the bag! Thanks to Tom, Jimmy is now well-versed in the many species of apples. He especially liked the Northern Spies and Empires. He had to climb several trees to ensure my supply of Golden Delicious. Now he's looking forward to the baked goods the apples might morph into...


Even Nana Jo wanted to see the treetops!


Sampson enjoyed the outdoors by taking an afternoon doze. He loves the Maya wrap for naps while I walk around. I know he looks so squished in there, but he loves to feel snuggled.


We ended up with 7lbs of apples. Not bad for a first family picking. We didn't want to go overboard! The Powers family went home with about 20 lbs, and the Landers should be supplied all winter with their 30lbs.


After the orchard, we got the little ones together for some pictures. It's so wonderful to be able to share baby experiences. And I'm so glad the boys have Tommy to teach them how to be good little boys...

At the end of the day, Sampson needed a bath to relax. Nana Jo gave him a nice bath in the sink like she used to bathe his Oma.

Oh, dear. Is it possible that he gets cuter every day? Glad to see things are going well. The sink bath reminded me of being a little girl at Grandma's. I think she used to put a couple of us in there at a time!

My Grandma is still famous for her sink baths! My youngest cousin is 2 and still loves it! Ahhh, the memories. I love the cuteness!
