Apple Picking!

We went apple picking with some friends today.


It was eventful, to say the least. The orchard itself was small and not very well groomed. Which caused lot of this:


Which inevitably led to this:


Yep, a bee sting. And because I remembered my bee sting of last year, I quickly picked him up and ran to the car praying that he wasn't allergic and that he wouldn't have severe swelling that would block air passageways. Lucky for us (and him!) it didn't. As a pain killer the orchard's owner sprayed Windex on it, I kid you not. It made me think of the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding and I tried not to laugh while my boy was crying.

To get his mind off it, the owner took us to feed carrots to some horses and Clark seemed very unafraid of letting the horse take the carrots from his hand.

The we played on this tractor for a long time.


The kids loved it.

And then Clark fell off it and hit his head on the front tire. So we decided to end that fun.

At least Clark and Anna had a good time together.


Clark absolutely adores Anna and lets her pull him around everywhere.


Needless to say we were finished picking apples and took home with us only 2 apples. Total.

Hooray for apple picking! :)
