A Lovely Day For a Stroll (And a Trip Down Memory Lane)

MY GIRLFRIEND, AMY, AND I TOOK OUR SWEET ONES TO AN APPLE FARM YESTERDAY. IT WAS INDEED A LOVELY DAY FOR A STROLL AND WE WERE DELIGHTED TO WATCH OUR LITTLE ONES WALK ABOUT THE FARM. WITH NO REAL RESTRICTIONS IN SIGHT, THE KIDS WERE PLEASED WITH THE FREEDOM TO STROLL AND EXPLORE, AND US MOMMIES WERE PLEASED WE DIDN'T HAVE TO REDIRECT THEM (AKA TELL THEM "NO") MULTIPLE TIMES LIKE WE DO WHEN WE GO TO TARGET TOGETHER. (THE IDEA OF COMBINED TRIPS TO TARGET ALWAYS SEEMS LIKE A GREAT WAY TO CONNECT, GRAB A COFFEE AND GET WEEKLY GROCERIES TOGETHER. TO QUOTE MY HUSBAND, "THAT SOUNDS LIKE A HORRIBLE IDEA." WHAT A SKEPTIC! WE CONTINUE TO SHOP TIL WE DROP (LITERALLY SOME DAYS) IN SPITE OF THE EXTRA EFFORT TO KEEP TWO TODDLERS AND A 10 MONTH OLD CONTENT AND IN LINE WHILE SHOPPING. )
WITH A GENTLE BREEZE IN THE AIR, WE ENJOYED SEPTEMBER'S PERFECTION AND PURCHASED SOME DELICIOUS APPLES FOR SNACKS AND BAKING.
AS I WAS UPLOADING THE DAY'S PICTURES, I WAS INSTANTLY REMINDED OF PREVIOUS TRIPS MADE TO THE FARM. IT IS AMAZING WHAT A YEAR (OR TWO) CAN MAKE! ENJOY THIS LITTLE TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE WITH ME.

FRESH BACK FROM A TRIP TO FLORIDA JEFF AND I TAKE CHARLOTTE ON HER FIRST TRIP TO THE APPLE FARM. I CRAVED CRISP, JUICY APPLES THROUGHOUT MY PREGNANCY WITH CHARLOTTE. IT IS NO WONDER THE GIRL COULDN'T WAIT TO RIP OPEN THE BAG.

PRACTICING HER "SILLY" FACE FOR THE CAMERA. PARDON THE CHEWED UP COOKIE IN HER MOUTH.

POSING WITH THE SAME GOOFY STATUE.
I REMEMBER THIS TRIP VERY WELL AS I WAS EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT WITH JOEY AND HAD JUST CHOPPED OFF MY HAIR EARLIER THAT DAY. I REMEMBER LOOKING AT MY SWEET LITTLE LADY, THINKING IT WILL NOT BE LONG BEFORE WE ARE A FAMILY OF FOUR. TREASURE THESE MOMENTS.

OUR SWEET ONES.
IT IS AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH IN TWO YEARS!
