Apple Picking and More!

We have had an amazing fall!  We went apple picking at home and at a friends house to prepare for our apple cider pressing.  We also took a beautiful hike on the property above our house.  I also posted some pics from around the house of the kids.  :)

Fully laying on Maya and Maya just takes it like its no big deal.  Our old girl is getting lazy in her old age.  Our kids love her so much!

Early mornings with Olivia and Maya

Same hair!

Liv's version of apple picking!  Ha!

Abby is always a big helper!

And she LOVED getting to go on a ladder!

They loved it!

More ladder love!

Joey sending them down to everyone

Liv love apple picking!

Owen was a big helper too!

Family selfies are hard with so many people!  And look at all those apples!

Another try!

Now Levi and Liv aren't looking...

We did our best.  :)

How awesome is this bee hive?!

Beautiful fall day!

Another shot of the bee hive!

Fall in Quincy!

So pretty!

This is a landing that Coltan created above our house for a burn pile, a place to put the log deck (all of those stacked logs are just from trees they have taken down since Coltan has been here), and also it is a place to park the equipment and trailers away from the house.  It is a HUGE pad that was just forest.  

Looking down on the pad toward our house.  

I can't get over how much wood he has cleaned up and stacked.  We are going to have so much firewood next year!

How tiny does Abby look running through the woods?  She is a little mountain girl for sure!

More hiking--Abby running to keep up

A rare occasion, and very dirty bath water

Liv wearing Brynn's deer ears!  So cute!

Parent's vs kids at Owen's last soccer practice!

Liv thinks it is HILARIOUS that she can climb up both steps of the stepladder.  :/  And then she falls backward and screams.  Never a dull moment!
