Apple Picking Time

In hopes that Makenna will learn to recognize her alphabet letters, I have been doing some preschool learning at home with her.  We began the first week of September so  naturally we started with letter Aa; and we studied astronauts, ants, and apples.  We decided that since Oak Glen is so close to our house that it would be silly not to travel there for letter Aa week.  We waited until the weekend so that daddy could go with us for the experience too.  We met up with our friends and had a good time apple picking.

It was still early in the season so there were only three types of apples that were available for picking.  The girls had fun picking the apples off the tree and didn't quite understand that we had to look for quality apples and not just picking the first ones that we saw.

The daddies were great at helping the girls find the juicy apples and holding them up to pick them.

We quickly filled up our bags with lots of yummy apples...

And then we went across the street to Los Rios Rancho where they have a wonderful picnic area.

We brought our picnic lunches and cut up some of our freshly picked apples.  Then the daddies and the girls ran around while the mommies and babies hung out at the benches to talk.  Such a fun day!
