Orchard visit with Cousins.

We visited an orchard in Iowa to pick some apples and have a picnic lunch. First we split up, one adult per kid, to pick some apples. I had Gavin and we had fun climbing trees and getting a variety of apples. The other kids mostly went for quantitiy. :o)! Here is one of my pictures of Gavin in the tree: He was such a big boy carrying his own apple bag!

Seth had a fantastic day and was enjoying mugging for the camera for once:

The whole apple pickin' crew:

They had a great little playground for the kids to play on. Lots of Seth pictures and a few of Gavin, Ben and Katie. :o)!

It was really great getting to spend time with Rachel, Craig, Ben and Katie. They are traveling home soon, and it will probably be another 2 years before we get to see them again. I really appreciate Andrew letting me spend as much time with them as we could!
