Annual Tuttle's Orchard Visit


September had lots of rain and it looked slim at getting a chance to hit Tuttles while there were still apples left.  But this first week of October was just gorgeous - sunny and in the 80's!  So Tuesday we drove out for our annual Tuttles Visit.  As luck would have it green delicious, Heath and Brooklynn's favorite, were available for the picking.  There were several apples still left on the trees but mostly high up.  So daddy got his workout lifting the kids up to pick.  As usual, we spent the rest of the trip enjoying the play area with several mazes (sunflower, hay, and rope), farm equipment, swing-sets and more.  Heath and I played corn-hole while the kiddos played - he won yet again but it was at least close (he plays with 3 bags to my 4)!  The Maxson's were there too so we chatted for a minute before heading home for dinner.

Although they fight quite often, the sweet moments ALMOST make up for it!
