Autumn Bliss

On Saturday Anthony and I took Ryan to one of our most favorite places: Tanner's Orchard. Ryan had a wonderful first experience, joined by both sets of grandparents and his Aunt Katie, Uncle Mike, and cousin Maddie.

I guess Ryan knew his little head wasn't filling the space, so he made the call to give a wave.posing with the pumpkin/gourd creations

potty break

While Maddie enjoys her first pony ride (bopping up and down and hanging on like a seasoned rider),Ryan allows the gorgeous weather and buzzing sounds of orchard fun to lull him asleep.

the innocent investigate

Maddie picked and ate her first apple. Throughout the weekend she continued to try out her new skill, joyously biting into apples. up close with a caterpillar

Although Ryan's 3 teeth (almost 4!) don't allow him to bite into an apple like his cousin, he still got a thrill playing with the apple tree. Next year, bud!

comparing loot

Katie and Anthony compare to see who was able to strategically stuff more Honeycrisp apples into the pre-paid bag. Close call. Well-played by both.
