Aunt Beth came to visit this past weekend and requested that we go apple picking. So off to our favorite orchard we went. Yes this was our 3rd weekend in a row fruit picking!
Scouting for a good tress to start on.
Becky and Ally show off their pears! Yes we picked Bosc Pears!
It was so cool to see so many hanging from the trees.
Ally loved to climb the ladder to pick the ones up high. She would then hand them down to Becky who would pass them over to Beth to put in the bag. Becky did get nailed in the head with one pear, but no harm was done to her head. I think the pear was bruised.
After a while Aunt Beth climbed the ladder to reach the really high ones.
We saw a dragonfly on one of the pears.Grandma Debbie & Poppy - Ally said it was not Power, since this one was red and Power is Green. Power, is Ally's imaginary pet dragonfly that traveled with her Debbie & Poppy's house this summer. Whenever we see a real dragonfly we wonder if its Power of a friend of Powers.
Eating our apples. And I seriously hope this is the last "Ally on mommy's shoulders while picking fruit" picture of the season.
"flying" between Aunt Beth and Mama
Becky gnawing on a caramel apple.
Between these sisters the apple was gone before Ally even finished her cider donut.
Becky and Beth went to finish picking apples while Ally and I looked at the bees making honey. We them attempted the hedge maze. We were lost in the maze for about 15 minutes and never did find the flag at the middle. Its kind of difficult to navigate a hedge maze with a four year old!

On the way home from the orchard we went to the fabirc store and purchased the supplies for Ally's Halloween costume!
I am thrilled to report that Becky has completed sewing the costume and it is FABULOUS. Ally loves it, I think its AWESOME and Becky rightfully so is very proud of her work. We're not going to unveil it yet but leave a comment or send me an email with your guess.
(Beth is not allowed to guess, since she already knows.)
We are all so excited now for Halloween, I can't believe we have to wait over a month now.
