This year it was hot. In the 90s for our annual apple picking excursion.
Ivan’s favorite apple was the golden delicious.
Ezri favored the empire apples.

Look at all those apples! Ivan is pointing to his favorite kind.

It was awfully warm back there in late September.

We had fun in the pumpkin patch until the “pumpkin fight” incident.

In the pumpkin patch, Ezri was marching toward us carrying a 5 lb pumpkin and chanting, “pumpkin fight, pumpkin fight.” Then she hurled the pumpkin at Ivan’s head and bonk. He wailed and she seemed genuinely surprised at the negative responses to her grand pumpkin fight idea. Snowballs and pumpkins are very different. Maybe I should’ve anticipated during the chanting – but really what did she think was going to happen?

Makes this photo a little more ominous as I now know that is the projectile pumpkin.

And makes me glad she couldn’t lift the bigger pumpkins for very long.

After recovering from being hit in the head with a pumpkin, Ivan tripped on part of a plow in a field and cut his leg.
A lollipop was needed to speed his recovery.
Somehow Ezri got one too. Guess what color it was.

Ivan did have some high moments too. He got to meet a llama who he called, “Llama llama red pajama.” He got to slide down a huge tube slide repeatedly and throw worm shaped beanbags into apple shaped targets. While Ezri loved playing in the pit of feed corn and feeling it between her bare toes, Ivan is not interested and kept lifting his feet saying, “get it off!” We moved on to racing plastic ducks with pumps, both kids agree that plastic floaty ducks getting moved by pumping water is just fun.

I think tomorrow we may decorate our haul of 4 pumpkins from this outing. We already ate the apples.

A few more photos from apple picking adventures. . .

Small silo filled with 6 – 8 inches of feedcorn = awesome fun.

I am making a Corn Angel!

Ezri enjoyed sending these ducks swimming by pumping the water into the gutter.

We met a live llama and its mama.

Applicious good times.

Ezri could not have loved playing in the feed corn more.
The slide, trucks, and metal funnel all added to the fun.

This was a great fall play time.
I had a pretty good time stomping through the corn too.
As a bonus, later in the day we found corn in her shoes and her pants.

Sheep!

Goat!

Llama!
