apples and Cunkins!

With my sister and Roman in town Sara organized a trip to the Elegant Farmer Orchard out in Mukwonago.  After downing a wake-up serving of Pumpkin Spice latte I was ready for a rousing morning full of apples, cunkins (as Romans says), tractors, nonuts (another Romanism for donuts), apple cider and ponies.  Boy did we have fun! 

I love this picture because Amaya is running like a 'big girl.' It is so fun to watch the little guys grow together and funny to think that my family is officially onto the next generation.  I got a little out of hand on the pictures for this blog, but there was so much to choose from!

First we rode  a tractor hay
ride out to the apple orchard
where you can fill your bucket
with as many apples as
you want.  Between  the five of us
we managed to fill an entire
basket. I don't know that
we really wanted all those apples,
but we were just having fun picking them.

Of course daredevil Roman had to climb all the way to the top of the ladder.  He thinks the world is a jungle gym.

      Amaya, on the other hand, takes a different approach to being in the tree. She sits in style.Funny things is that their moms kinda did the same thing...............

Once we had more than enough apples, we got back on the hayride to the pumpkin patch.  Amaya was on a mission to find a GREEN pumpkin and Roman found the cutest little pumpkin with a twisty stem. (which to his father's dismay he would later paint pink, purple and white)

The day was cool, clear and sunny, but the wind was killer!  It was pretty bad for about a week around here and made the headlines the other day for all the damage it has caused.
