Apple Picking

 

Yesterday, we took Kaitlyn to a farm in New Gloucester and went apple picking.  Once Kaitlyn got the hang of it she loved it.  She kept saying “up” so we’d pick her up and she could pull them off the trees.  Once we showed her how to put the apples in the bag, we had to keep an eye on her.  She’d grab any old apple off the ground and try to sneak it in the bag.  It was fun to watch her running up the row of trees yelling “apple” repeatedly…

Found her first apple…

Bringing it to Daddy for inspection…

It’s good!  Putting it in the bag…

Learning how to pick them off the tree…  

I did it!   

Had one in each hand, but then dropped one…

There’s some at Kaitlyn-height!

 

After picking our apples, we bought some apple cider and homemade donuts.  Then we took a ride on a horse drawn carriage…

Hoping to hit up the pumpkin patch in a few weeks…

St. Peter’s Italian Street Festival

Yesterday afternoon, we went to a street festival that one of the Catholic Churches downtown puts on every year. We started going 3 Years ago and have gone every year since.

This year, Kaitlyn got her first taste of Cannoli…

Then Kaitlyn got her face painted for the first time. It didn’t go quite so well. After she got her nose done, she wasn’t so sure about having a stranger so close to her face. She started pulling away and smearing it.

Right afterwards, not looking so happy….

After we got her back to the car, and wiped up a little she was a little happier and looked really cute.

My little kitty…

Only 55 more days until the Pirates’ home opener! We can’t wait!!!

Florida Trip

Last week, we headed down to Florida to visit friends and family.  We had a great time!  While we were in Spring Hill, we decided to head up to Homosassa Springs since Kaitlyn loves animals…
