Apple/Berry Picking

Today we took the kids (and grandma and papi) to Orchard Farms to pick apples. Evi and Robert really had a great time. Evi did more eating then picking. She would pick an apple, take a bite, and then throw it on the ground claiming "that one was no good." Robert also enjoyed picking the apples. It was great fun for him because "apple" is one of the words he can say really well. We then moved on to raspberries which both the kids love. Evi knew right away that she could eat the bright red ones, Robert on the other hand was not sure what to do. As soon as he caught on though he couldn't get them in his mouth fast enough. Next were the blackberries. This time they had to pick the ones that weren't red. Poor Robert ended up eating some pretty tart blackberries. By the end of the trip both kids had stained hands and faces. It was a beautiful day to be out in the orchard and fortunate for us there weren't many bugs yet. We hope to make this an annual event.
