Apple Picking

We closed out the Labor Day weekend in Flat Rock, North Carolina for some old fashion apple picking. It was a fun day spent as a family with some sweet friends. It was a perfect way to wrap up summer.

The kids were cute, carrying their own baskets.

They picked apples, sometimes sampled the apples, and picked some more. Noah was pretty hot that day. He wiped his brow a bunch.

We went with our neighbors and friends, the Reece's. Griffin loves his buddy Jack.

Allison & Miles won the day's award for getting right up in the tree to grab the best apples.
(Miles was SO into finding the best apples. He loved it.)

The kids loved all the extra play stuff too.

love these! cool perspective on the first. love the finishes on the next set. i like how the red baskets really stood out. my fave shot is the one of miles showing you his bites in his apple. it's just so crisp and he's so well lit against a darker background. looks like such a nice day. can they really climb the trees to get apples? ella would love that--although, not in her current state. so how many apples did you end up coming home with?
