An apple a day...

Last week we joined some Charlottean friends for a fun field trip to Carrigan Farm's apple orchards in Mooresville NC. Thankfully the rain held off long enough for us to enjoy some good ole' apple pickin' fun. The above photo shows all the kiddos that were involved climbing on some random boulders just outside the orchards.
Henry and Maggie enjoyed some sibling bonding over some dirty...yet freshly plucked apples.

Maggie demonstrates perfect apple picking form.
Me and my apple pickers...the apples were so delicious that neither one of them could put them down to say cheese (and one of them can't even say it yet so you must understand my predicament).
The cousins showed up all the way from Columbia to join in on the fun. Trooper won the prize for youngest apple picker and also for having the head mostly closely sized to the biggest apple plucked.
I'm pretty sure there was more apple eating involved than actual apple picking, as demonstrated by this motley crew.
And then we found these randomly corralled goats, baby pigs and a single calf in front of a pumpkin patch...hmmm?

Also, a hen with her chicks and a rabbit with her bunnies. It really was a cool place and we had such a fun time.
