Apple Orchard

Last week the kids and I went over to McClure's Apple Orchard in Peru.  We've been there several times before-when we find an activity that involves getting to pet animals, we tend to frequent it.  It was Ike's first visit, and he seemed to enjoy himself.  He always loves seeing goats!

Good job looking at the camera boys...at least the tiny horse had the courtesy to look.

Dave starting to rethink his decision to go down the slide.

He actually went down!  Definite improvement over the last time we were there.

Dave loves to be king of the castle.

Ike was just the right height in his stroller to be the lowest apple.

Of course Dave had to get in on the picture and look like he was being tortured.







While at the orchard, we bought some apples, which Dave had to try immediately.  But he won't eat an apple with skin on it...so guess who had to peel the apple by biting the skin away?  Blech.  Things no one tells you about motherhood!

Here's a funny video of Dave trying to get Ike to laugh by tickling him.  Notice how he completely just gives up and walks away at the end.


And Ike learned how to play a kazoo this week.  My kids have skills...totally preparing his application for Juilliard.  :)
