New England Fall Fun...

Today Alexander & I went Davis Farm again. This time we went to the Mega Maze & Apple Picking...some good ole fashion New England Fall good times! We went with Grammie, Grampie, Gary, Sharon & the kids. The kids were great with Alexander, Claire especially wanting to hold his hand and make sure he was okay. The weather was great, if not a bit warm because we weren't dressed for it to be *that* nice out.

We started with the Maze to try to beat the crowds. I had Alexander in the stroller and that made the Maze a bit challenging with the bridges, so finally I took him out and we took turns holding him or dragging the stroller. Grammie, Grampie, Alexander & I only made it half way. It was getting too hot and close to lunch so we left through the "emergency exit". We went to have some lunch and wait for Gary, Sharon & the kids before we went over for apple picking.

They were doing Helicopter Rides and it was pretty cool to be THAT close to them - Alexander loved watching them take off, fly over & land! They finished up and the kids played a bit with Alexander and we took silly pictures of our "victory". Then we headed over to the orchards (right across the parking lot from the Petting Zoo/Splash Zone).

It was a bit hard for Alexander to walk due to the long grass and all of the apples on the ground but he had fun with Claire. He was picking apples and putting them in the bag. Then as I was picking one from the tree, he picked one from a branch and ate it on his own. It was VERY cute. I took a bite of it so he could eat the good stuff...he wasn't all that keen on biting it but he loved the taste and to suck on it. He also wanted to lick it...so I would take a new bite and then he would lick that section.

Overall a very nice day!

And probably my favorite picture of the entire day:
