We went apple picking with the McPartlins! We had a blast at Parlee Farms in Tyngsboro!
It was such an odd weather day. I can't believe that after more than 30 years, New England weather can still surprise me! We left the house with Eli in a long-sleeved t-shirt and jeans. By the time we got to Lori and Jamie's house, it was hot and muggy. We had to stop on the way to the farm so I could buy our little man shorts and a t-shirt. He would have melted!
We started with a hayride (and some oatmeal raisin cookies).
On to the MacIntosh's...and a budding romance...
Eli jumped right into tasting what he had hand-picked. The apples were so tasty!
He got a little help from Daddy for the higher apples. He hasn't quite perfected the art of lifting and turning the apples. He just takes the tree.
Mommy and Eli spent a lot of time picking Gala apples...which we plan on turning into some yummy applesauce and pie!
We ended the trip with some fun in the pumpkin patch!
We went back to Lori and Jamie's house to watch the game. Eli refused to nap, but was in a good mood. Of course, by the time we got home, he spiked a fever of 102 degrees and threw up. Luckily, it passed and Miss Alexa did not get sick!
