Apple Picking

It's that time of year again. Apple picking is a big deal in Vermont. Signe has had an apple picking field trip for the last three years. And she's worn that same jacket each year. I was putting it on Anni and Signe said that's mine. She insisted that it still fit (just barely), so I let her wear it. Though we talked about it later and she is ok with handing it down because she has lots of other jackets to wear.

This year I got to chaperone because our neighbor could watch Anni. (If Anni had her way, she'd go play at Dane's house every day; she loves it there.) Here's my group of kids: Genavie, Natalie & Signe. (Genavie made that face for most of my pictures. She thought she was very funny.)









Making apple cider is a lot of work. Signe got to turn the crank first.













Signe's teacher - Mrs. McKenney (in the red stripes) We love her!











Highlight of the day: a REAL reindeer (who didn't pay much attention to the kids)
