Apple Picking at Smolak Farms

Even though it's been freakishly warm lately (80 degrees yesterday and today with lots of humidity!) We did have a somewhat cool Fallish day last weekend and it put us in the mood to go apple picking.

We went with our good friends the Knutsons. It's always fun hanging out with them because we have twinner families. 2 girls and a baby boy for each us. 
Our girls love their girls and it's non-stop giggly happiness when they're together.

We went to Smolak farms in North Andover and started off with a hay ride around the giant orchard.

After the hayride the girls got right to work apple picking and Cam got to work being ridiculously adorable in his little man outfit.


Teya made good use of the Daddy ladder to get all the "beauties" that were up high.


Teya probably picked over 90% of the apples in our basket. Brinley was too busy eating them to bother with picking more. ; )

Cam really wanted an apple but he had to settle for his Gerber apple wheel.

And maybe a little hay too : )


Riggies in the apple field. 


And we'll end with the classic bale of hay and pumpkin pic.
(Just ignore the remnants of hay dangling of of Cam's lips. He still hasn't learned what does and does not qualify as food ; )

Oh, man. Now I need a baby boy next so I can dress him like that. So dang cute! Isn't it fun to live in a place where you can pick apples in the fall? I love it!

That is one ridiculously cute man outfit for sure! We really need to find us an orchard around here so we can pick our own apples.

I miss Fall so much! I think it's my favorite season, and we don't even get it here. I love all the pictures - I was trying to decide which was my favorite, and I couldn't - Cam in the cutest outfit ever, Teya on Taber's shoulders, Brinley biting into an apple, the 3 kids together on the hay bale (love the hay in Cam's mouth). . . Your family picture is great, too - an apple orchard makes such a pretty background.

I love how you guys are always apple-picking! It just seems like what you're supposed to do in the fall! Do you know of a place here in UTAH!?? That looks like sooo much fun. And I absolutely LOVE fresh-off-the-tree APPLES! Love all the pics. Cam is growing like crazy! And your girls are so stinkin' cute!!

Really cute family pics. I've never been up to New Hampshire, and I've never been to the east coast in the fall...so this is one of those pastoral things I imagine would just be so awesome. We have loads of oranges and grapes here but no apples...:( Looks like a good time.
