"Apple, peaches, pumpkin pie, who's not ready, holler I!"
This is super random, but does anyone else remember this little ditty we used to say when we were little and playing a hiding game? I don't know why, but when I was thinking about this post, that's what popped into my head. One of my favorite memories as a kid is playing kick-the-can with my cousins up at Big Star Lake! I remember yelling the saying out and hoping no one would answer so I could race to find them! Fun times!!
Okay, now the real reason for my post and I guess what prompted that little walk down memory lane, we went to MI this past weekend and among other things, went apple picking! We met up with Stacey, Luke & Taylor (Matt was off on his way up to the U.P. for a hunting trip) and our dear friends The Bosch family for a day at the apple orchard. Cranes Orchard is one of the best, in my humble opinion and you must visit if you're in the area during picking season. Actually, they have a delightful little restaurant that you can enjoy even if you're not picking that day.
The kids had a blast...picking yummy apples, taste testing them, riding a cute little cow train (Sammy started out on the ride w/ H, but didn't love it, so got 1/2 a ride), eating scrumptious, greasy doughnuts and frolicking around with their cousins and friends.
It was a great weekend and we already look forward to our next visit at Thanksgiving!

I love Crane's, too! Great pictures! I love those collages :) By the way, the title of your post is also a 1960's song by Jay and the Techniques. You should add an iPod widget and have it playing in the background!
