Fall Fun

You are entitled to your opinion, but we think fall is the best season out there.  And we love taking time to visit the local orchards to see all that they have to offer.  This time around it appears that Evan's Orchard offered the perfect setting for some great pictures.

And it's not every day that we get a true family shot, but in this case we were able to exchange family photos with a couple we ran into in the trees. They even let us use their pumpkin to add a little flavor to our picture.  Sarah certainly wants to maximize the opportunity to take family pictures while she is still the second tallest in the family.  It seems like that won't last too long.

The little one is not so little any more, but boy is she cute.  There is a lot going on in that head of hers, and when her ideas combine with her boundless energy you need to look out.  She is also at a stage where you can bribe her to take pictures like this.  Hopefully that stage will last for a while.

On the other hand, Callie is not so easily swayed.  However, if you catch her when she's not thinking about it, you can snap a good photo and see what a wonderful young girl she really is.  How could we not take a photo where a girl wearing an I heart Fall is sitting on a pile of pumpkins?

The afternoon was filled with a ton of activities, and Evan's Orchard always has things to keep the kids busy.  Of course, as Sarah often demonstrates, nothing is really just for kids.  Reese is more than happy to play along with most of her mother's suggestions, but Callie is a little bit more reserved like her father.  Don't worry, Sarah will never give up the fight.

And as you can see, Sarah wins more often than not!  Callie loved the idea of jumping off the tire for a picture and we got some good ones.  This one is so cool because of the colors, the background, and the joy on Callie's face.

Speaking of joy, these two had a great day giggling and enjoying the sunshine.  We feel extremely lucky when we get to witness two sisters who truly care about each other.  More than that, they want to be together and play together.  They love to make each other laugh and are willing to be as goofy as it takes.  We are truly lucky.
