While the annual trip to the AppleJack Festival didn’t happen this year, it was perhaps even more enjoyable to visit Kimmel Orchard without the mob of people

Des growing and growing

Ella’s hayrack ride face

Desmond was a bit more animated, though uncertain if it was the ride or the sight of the tractor

Like brother, like sister. Initially she wasn’t into it, but after mom took a starter bite to get the juices going, Eleanor clearly saw what the fuss was all about.

Cause who doesn’t double-fist apples?

Every time mom tried to put the apple down for a moment, Eleanor would grasp on and try to pull it back to her mouth

Desmond sitting on a pumpkin. Not sure why. Closer to the pumpkin patch, he runs over saying, “I go sit on pumpkin.” Toddler mysteries.

Waving hello to the pumpkins

Learning to eat his pizza “how Stephen holds it.” 

All worn out after hiking through the orchard, to extent of falling asleep with his cement mixer still in hand

Babies- emptying kleenex boxes in record time since forever

Ok, dad may be tied for most interested in the frogs (whose aliases now switched to Darth Vader and Ice Cream)
