Apple Pickin'

Each year, those of us who can make it, get together to pick my Grandma's apples. She has 8 trees in her yard - enough for everyone to take what they want and to fill the trailer with 2000 lbs (yes, a ton) to press into juice.
Jayden WAS actually working, but stopped to be a "ham" when I asked to take his picture.
Grandma is 87 years old and still tries to do what she can out in the yard. She is really an inspiration to me and what I want to be like when I'm her age.
I really didn't take that many pictures, and asked my sister to take some for me. I guess I'll have to wait until she makes her "Apple Picking" post to see them. I'm hoping that, unlike me, she manged to get some cute pictures.

Happy Fall!

These were fun pictures to look at. I haven't been able to visit Grandma's house in years, so it was fun to see her house in the background and all the apple trees. Apple picking is such a fun tradition... I wish we were local and coudl go.

Love the picture of Jayden in the tree. :)

Oh man, at the rate I've been going you may never see that "apple picking" post. :) Why haven't I emailed those pictures to you yet. I stink. Cute post. I always want to take pictures of Grandma with my kids, but I don't want her to feel like she's dying and this is the last chance to take a picture of her. I'm sure I'll wish I had done it anyway.
