Saturday evening brought us together with friends for apple picking, a hayride, and a bonfire at a farm about 45 minutes away from our house. It was a long drive (especially home!) but well worth the trip!I love the light in this photo,
even though Grace doesn't look too happy!

The kids picked apples from the trees and walked around eating them. I am pretty sure this is the first time Grace has ever picked fruit right from the tree. I remember going apple picking as a kid and then taking the apples to my grandmother to make apple pies. Next year, we are going to have to make a special trip to an orchard just to do this!
This place is a working farm so they had all kinds of vegetables for sale up front. The kids wandered around among the pumpkins, gourds, and mums.
And then we tried to get a photo of ALL the kids (there were 11 of them!) on this Amish wagon. At least Dawson, Grace, and Mayna stayed still long enough for this cute shot! (Notice Grace and Dawson are still eating their apples!)
They took us out to the pumpkin field on a big tractor with hay wagons attached. It was bumpy and bouncy, but Grace loved it. The farmer told us to choose our pumpkin before pulling it off the vine. Once you pick it, it begins to rot and they didn't want us to pick some and then leave them there. Grace wandered in the field to choose her own pumpkin. Grace liked the big ones at first until I told her she had to carry the pumpkin she chose. We ended up with two small ones!
As the night grew cooler, we sat by the bonfire, roasted marshmallows, and ate S'mores.
Grace and Dawson had a great time giggling in the wagon together. 
When I see them like this, I can really picture them in the future as best friends!PS - I brought my small camera which did a fine job. But all the really great shots are from Kellie. And I pirated the amazing one of the girls on the Amish wagon from Aimee. Thanks, Ladies!

Nana has never been to a barn fire.
Wish I was there.
It is fun to see Dawson and Grace laughing so hard. Do you thin we will never know their secrets?
Love Nana
Lynn and Grace - We had so much fun last night. The girls are becoming such good friends I'm beginning to wonder what kind of trouble will they get into as they get older. They were laughing so hard, I wonder what about? HMMM we are in trouble when these two get older!
OH OH...Trouble ahead with those two. Funny photos, loved them all
