Saturday morning the boys and I headed out for some apple picking at our favorite spot, Navarino's Orchard. It's where we pick raspberries all summer and apples and pumpkins in the fall. It was sunny and beautiful but cold on the top of hill with the breeze. We hitched a ride on the first wagon ride out to the orchard and Beckett and Reed picked twenty pounds in about seven minutes. They also scarfed up apple fritters (two each for Theo and Beckett and one for Reed) and ran around in the pumpkin field for a while before we hit the road to see Grandpa Stu in Ithaca for the afternoon.
Reed was a remarkably good picker. He found several apples at his eye level and put them dutifully in the bag Theo was holding. He has a hard time biting into a big apple himself but happily eats as much as you will give him if you loosen pieces for him.

It was pretty funny watching the boys trying to all get in position for a cut-out photo below. This was the best of the lot. Reed found it much more fun to try to climb off the apple boxes down to where Theo was than stay up and look out the face hole.
