Apple and Pumpkin Picking!

We had the chance to go to an apple and pumpkin farm this afternoon and had a great time. We are really having fun with my parents visiting. FUN- another word that can be replaced with the word fun is enjoy.
"Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture." Psalm 37:3
When I read this scripture I think about how good the Lord really is to his followers. When we allow ourselves to trust truly in Christ's road then we will enjoy the love that he has for each one of us. I have to admit that sometimes it is hard for me to be so far from our families. Moving to Ohio was a big move for us; however, Patrick and I knew that this was the path which Christ wanted for our family. Ohio has had its ups and downs but we remember that we shall enjoy the things that are around us. We have made so many great friends which the Lord has placed around us. (They are all gifts from the Lord!) The current gift we are enjoying is a visit from my parents. It is always fun to have family visit. And as you can see by the following photos we had a lot to be joyful for today! And well, we are also enjoying the fall season. The leaves are changing and it is a beautiful sight to see. We even get the chance to pick pumpkins and apples with the kids. Gotta love the change of seasons.
I even caught a picture of Sydney with an apple that Isaac picked. She didn't get to get out of the carseat much, but she still seemed to have a good time.

And LOOK, even Grandma go a chance to be a part of a wagon full of pumpkins!
This was a picture of Jordan and Isaac picking apples. I really like these apple trees. They are all short so the kids can walk right up and pick an apple. No climbing or lifting anyone up. It was great and they had a lot of fun.
Love ya and God Bless, Tara G.

How many pounds of apples did you pick? (Lets see, 10 lbs of blueberries?) So, I'ld say 47 lbs of apples! When can we come over for some PIE?
