A couple weekends ago, on a gorgeous September Saturday, we made the trip up to Hillside Apples near Casco. Eric and I go apple picking every fall, but usually at the Elegant Farmer in Mukwonago. This year we started a new tradition with Alena :) She loved being outside and looking around. She got to pick her own baby apple and get a taste of Mommy's tasty apple, too! Yum yum! Daddy thought that her favorite part was going on the wagon behind a tractor (I'm sure that was Daddy's favorite part).

On the way home, went by Uncle Ken's farm, saw Ken and Ann outside, and decided to stop for a visit. They had been picking pears from the tree in their yard angd gave some to us (lots were made into baby food)! We also got to tour their new milking parlor and meet Cheyenne, a sweet mannered cow. Alena really didn't know what to think of all he noises, smells (E & I really likethe smell of manure!), and new animals!

We had such a great family day! Woo Hoo!
