Emma Krumbee's Apple Orchard

We went to Emma Krumbee's for the third year in a row, this past weekend. It was HOT - 80's by the time the sun came out - but we had a lovely time!

You notice in the picture above that Elliott is in the air, but Emma isn't - that can only mean one thing.... Emma face-planted it! She was OK though

Singing and dancing - her two favorite things. She will sing all day long, in the back of the car, in the living room - anywhere! And she makes up songs too, or will sing different words to a well known song. I love to hear and see her learning that way!

Riding the camel... Nick!

Dancing with her FAVORITE baby - the 25cent one that is naked with crazy hair from a garage sale! She is so cute with her babies - cares for them, kisses them goodnight and says "don't let the bed bugs bite"

So obviously the reason we went to the apple orchard was to pick apples.... no such luck! they were DONE picking for the season (when I called on Thursday that was not the case!). Of course, thankfully Elliott is all too comfortable taking matters in to his own hands. We found a ladder out in the Orchard and our little girls was as happy as a lark!

Stomping on the rotten ones...

So sweet - and so independent. She wants and needs to do every little thing on her own, like carrying the apples, or deciding who will carry them!

Apparently you are supposed to enter the pumpkin patch somewhere other than from the orchard - Elliott again didn't hesitate to take matters into his own hands:)

Somehow Emma got it in to her head that she needed to line all the pumpkins up!!!!! She is so dang strong..

On the way out of town Elliott stopped at a Farm Distributor that he had promised Em would stop at, on our way in!

They walked around and Elliott of course even lifted her in to one!!!!

We had a great time, and are looking forward to a full couple of weeks. Our ten year anniversary is this Thursday, the 14th - can't believe it! Next week we are going back to the same park where we had our wedding pictures taken and having family photos taken!!!!! We have never had anything done professionally since our wedding, so I am really excited.

Emma and I drove past the park the other morning to make sure the leaves would still be turning and I told her that is where mommy and daddy went on the day we got married. She said, "mommy, am I married?" "I said no" and she said "Well, who am I then?????" SO CUTE!!!

Love to all...
