Julian Apple Picking (Day 2)

This year to celebrate Jeff's birthday we headed to Julian for the day, picked apples, enjoyed a lovely lunch outside, and then Cindy and Roger took care of the girls so Jeff and I could go out on a date! What a great time, and what a wonderful way to celebrate 33 years...family, fun, and food!


The whole crew!
The birthday boy!
The girls really enjoyed being together and playing.
Kate loved picking apples. She's such a nibbler and actually has two apples that she is nibbling on at the same time!
Hannah loves Red Delicious apples, so she and Grandpa Roger made it their mission to search out the Red Delicious, not to be confused by the Johnny Apples!
Rachel Lee enjoyed being carried around and sucking on this apple. Such a cutie pie!!
The loving grandparents!
This tree is over 100 years old...it had a huge hole in the middle that they girls peeked in and discovered an apple inside. 
 Lunch time!! Although we snacked on the apples in the orchard we were ready to sit and eat some more!

The line for a Mom's Apple Pie was so long it was out the door. Roger stood in it for a while and then "lost his patience/" No worries, we have plenty of apples to make our own apple pies...and crisp, and cider, and sauce...we have a TON of apples in fact!

Looks like a great day. Nate is jealous, he is very obsessed with apples and would have loved to be able to pick them from the trees!
