Tractors! Oh, and apples too.

This was a classic early fall weekend so we took another trip out to the apple orchard. The stated reasons were these, and not particularly in this order: So we could pick apples; so I could get apple donuts; and so Elise could see the tractors and enjoy a hay ride.

All she talked about before we arrived was how she would ride the tractor. Of course, stopping to pick apples turned out to be a nice perk along the way.

Taking a break by sitting on a large pumpkin. Love those sneaks.

The pursuit...

... and the grab.

Anni's a self-admitted fruit snob who can often be seen inspecting a piece of fruit for the smallest blemish, so it must pain her to see a photo of herself unknowingly holding a slightly bruised apple as though she just plucked a gold nugget. Heh.

The first step in making applesauce.

She just couldn't bring herself to look at the camera.

The lady likes snacking while on a hay ride.

Surprise! Colin's sleeping -- again.
