Apple Picking in Ham Town!

This weekend we went down to Stoney Creek to visit with The Brown fam! It was quite the rany weekend, but there was a period of just cloudiness that we could enjoy apple picking. We headed up to Stoney Creek on Saturday for nap time... which was about 11am that day. We got there just in time for lunch so we made a brief stop in Hamilton at the Denningers (Aleksys been wanting lunch there since we missed out when it was closed last year). It was petty baby friendly which was awesome.. Logan had his deli meat (surprise!) and even had a high chair!

We went to Frootogo in Waterdown around 3pm to pick some apples. We actuslly got exclusively gala apples. We just know what we like... Even though we got some mini apples that Aleksy picked (there were so many little ones!) we got a decent stash to last us the week until we go apple picking the second time locally this weekend!
The apples are baby tested, pre-toddler approved. This kid sure is happy when he's eating whatever we have!
Wagon ride to save the shoes from getting too dirty! Although we were well equipped with the raincoat, this boy still needs some rubber boots!

Also wagons are pretty handy when your baby is too big for the baby carrier, walks a little slow and is pretty heavy to carry around.

Multipurpose... for the apples and for the kiddos!
And a quick stop to the pumpkin patch! We decided to save the dirt in the trunk for the commute back to London and didn't get a pumpkin here.. but we'll get one next weekend! Logan liked playing with the pumpkin stems.
Fall fam pictures at the orchard! Logan being his crazy excited self. He saw something pretty cool.
And the lot of children that we apple picked with. 6 Total... an even amount of children:adult ratio. They all had a good time and ate lots of apples!

After our adventures of pumpkin picking (for the others!) and apple picking, we got some pumpkin pie and apple crisp for dessert and did the easy agreeable supper choice.. pizza!

Although we were ill prepared for the later drive home, forgetting pjs AND nudey oats (we also forgot his highchair... not our day!), we were able to borrow some of the twins pablum and Cadences leggings so goober could sleep on the way home. And we was so good... slept on the way home and through the night. Such a sleeping champ!
And Sunday was for baking. Apple oat muffins! The apple crisp will have to wait until the thanksgiving weekend!
