Last weekend I took the kids to my Mom's house in Amherst. She was also keeping Kim's kids so we had a houseful! We took a little field trip on Saturday to pick apples at a local orchard. It's actually a commercial orchard, but one day a year they let locals come and pick from the trees before they strip the trees. The kids had fun and the orchard is beautiful. Wrangling 5 kids under 8 in an open field with lots of hiding places kept us busy, though!

Cameron wanted to use the apple picker.
Luke opted for the old fashioned way.
Lots of space to burn off energy!
After picking apples we stopped at a little ice cream shop and enjoyed some ice cream on the way home!
Back in Christiansburg, we turned some of our harvest into an apple pie. And while Grayson absolutely LOVES plain apples, he will have nothing to do with them baked in a pie.
