It's Apple-Picking Season!

Well, summer is officially over, but autumn does bring some fun things. . .
like apple-picking!

We headed off to the Royal Apple Orchard
(aka Smolak Farms in North Andover)
to pick some Macs and Cortlands
and to find a good jack-o'-lantern pumpkin.

Peekaboo behind the apple tree!

Mommy guiding me through the apple orchard.
Notice how, when I'm not in the hiking backpack,
Daddy makes sure the diaper bag is.

The King triumphantly holds his prize - a beautiful, ripe red apple!

Do you think I can get the whole apple in my mouth in one bite?

Trying to show the Queen Mommy how to pick the best pumpkins.

The Royal Babbo and I in the pumpkin patch!

Maybe this pumpkin would make a good throne. . .

What will the King grow up to be?

. . . a future Ringo Starr?. . .



. . . or a future Cy Young Award winner?. . .



. . . or maybe just a professional puddle hopper?. . .



. . . only time will tell!
