Apple Orchards & Pumpkin Carving!

Today we headed to Winchester for a fun day at the Apple Orchards. Kensley had a lot of fun- mainly playing at the playground. We finally got her to go pick some apples.... our favorite was the "Nittanny" apples. YUM! We bought a sack for $6.00 and filled it full!





I had to get a picture of me picking the apples! ;)



Kallie even got to pick some apples with daddy! And I decided I needed to get her OUT Of the stroller and take some pictures.... because everywhere we go, I have a picture of her sitting in the stroller.... like this one:

just different outfits :) So I think I was successful at getting some good shots!


She loved the apples!





Kensley had to sit down next to her sister


They are so sweet!


Daddy looks like he's having a blast, huh? ;)





Kensley saw the "train" when we first came in and so she kept talking about it. We let her ride it--- she didn't really know what to think. She was ok at first......






Then here she is when they came back. I guess she was scared because she couldn't see me or Kent. Poor thing!




After her train ride, she got her arm painted. I asked if she wanted her face or arm and she chose arm this time. :) She got a butterfly that matched her outfit.




This was the play ground. She enjoyed driving the tractor.





So fun was had by all at the Apple Orchards!




On our way home, Kent said he wanted to get a pumpkin to carve with Kensley. We passed a great little place so I jumped out to grab us a couple. If you guessed the weight of the pumpkin within 1/4 lb, then you got it free.... well..... I guessed 11 lbs and it was 11.02lbs! WOOHOO! My lucky day! So Kensley got a big pumpkin and Kallie got a small one. We got home and Kensley mainly watched as daddy started cutting the pumpkin open.



She's in the back saying "oooohhhhhhh"



She's finally touching a seed.



I decided to bake the seeds. I remember doing it in school when I was in third grade- and that's probably the last time I did it! It's been a while.....




And here is a picture of the "master carver" in action




And it's done!

I love that first picture of Kallie with the apple and I love the one of Kensley crying (it made me giggle!!)
You guys did a great job on the pumpkin... (and way to go on the weight guess-- you might have a job at 6Flags in your future!!)we bought the same carving kit and I'm going to buy pumpkins today-- hopefully they'll turn out 1/2 as good!!
