We went apple picking at a nearby orchard. The apples were damaged by hail and therefore were very cheap. I was amazed at how much damage a hail storm only lasting a few minutes can have on an entire orchard. No apple went unharmed and each one had some sort of damage. I felt kind of bad for the apples, but we made good use of them in some yummy apple crisp and apple pie.

Mike was nice and carried Anne the whole time.
The kids liked the pond next to the apple orchard.

Typical picture - Anne can't sit still, Alex is being silly and Abby is distracted.
Taking a rest in the leaves.
Painting pumpkins. The kids did a great job.
Notice the John Deere shirt. Abby still wears it night and day.
