First, you should be aware that when planning an apple picking trip with a 2-year-old with, take the time you think the activity should last and divide it by at least 3. Our apple picking adventure, which I had hoped would take an hour or more, didn't. Such is the attention span of our little monkey.
Anyway, on Sunday afternoon we headed to our local apple orchard to get some apples. Here's Daddy leading our little apple-picker to her quarry.
"There it is," he tells her, "Out yonder o'er near that there pumpkin patch." (Please note: the previous quote was intended with the worst hick impersonation imaginable.)
Kaylee wasted no time figuring out what her job was...and she did it with great gusto.
And expert apple-picker has been born.
She managed to wrestle even the most stubborn of apples from their perch.
Then it was time to sample her pickings...Kaylee had a whole peck to go through to find which specimen would have the honor of being the first to be eaten.
She inspected each apple closely, wanting to find the perfect one.
Soon she found the one she wanted, and held it close, her coveted prize.
Then she dug right in.
Kaylee sure does love those apples.
We really like this picture, the pumpkin patch was really a beautiful backdrop for our adventure.
Then it was time to explore the pumpkin patch and see what trouble she could get into.
"There sure are a lot of great pumpkins around here," Kaylee thought.
She quickly found her favorite.
She was literally head over heals for that pumpkin. Yeah, ok, that was bad.
Then it was time to recount her adventures to her Mommy on their way out (as Mommy had spent most of the time photo-documenting the event and shielding Rowan's eyes from the sun.)
Well that was fun...all 20 minutes of it!
That's all till tomorrow when hopefully I will get a ton of cute Halloween pics!

Ah, the ol' "20 Minutes of Hyperactive Acivity" ... turning family outings into abridged versions since probably before 2006!
