Apple Picking!

Hailey and I went to my parents house while daddy was on a trip and we decided to go apple picking. This would be Hailey's first trip and she did great!

We ventured to a new apple orchard that was at the top of a mountain and we had to walk a ways just to get to some good apples. Thankfully they were Hailey's height and she could actually pull them off.  The challenge was me taking the pictures, keeping Hailey from taking rotten apples, falling in them or falling down the hill. Let's just say I didn't get that many good pictures but we got great apples!

 Her first pick of the day she pulled so hard she fell both hands into 2 rotten apples.

 Once we got going she really got into it and I could hardly keep up with her.  Her last straw was loosing her balance trying to get an apple and fell into a really rotten apple that just got all over her. uhhh She was done after that. Thankfully I had my carrier and put her on my back which she immediatly said "giddy up mommy!" 

 At the end of the day Hailey helped mommy and Granddad pick a wagon full of apples, one baby pumpkin and great memories.

 We then stopped at a store and asked where a playground was and here's where Hailey found some great friends!  These donkeys were down from the playground and that was all Hailey needed to have some fun. They loved her.

 This little baby donkey was the winner. They were best friends!

 He even let her give him a hug which I was shocked to see.

 We ended our trip at Meemom and Granddad's house blowing bubbles.

We had a great time and Hailey definitly enjoyed learning how to pick apples.

Ok so I goofed on this group of pics. They are backwards, so if you start at the bottom that's where our trip to the beach started!

An end to a great day at the Aquarium Hailey and daddy found a little playground right outside.

 She got to touch several things and daddy got to touch a shark!

 This was the best part. The alligators were huge and 2 of them swam right up to Hailey and it looked like they were smiling. I could practically hear them saying Our little snack just arrived!

 Our hotel had a pool and Hailey did amazing. Joel let go of her and she tried to swim.

 This was the best part, Hailey actually layed down in the water and splashed around. The last time she did that was in Hawaii. Oh I miss Hawaii. This was fun though :)

 The water was perfect and just right for her. Not too rough, you could practically see the bottom.

 She got on a seashell hunt and picked them up saying sheshell and threw it back into the water.

 Hailey would just flat out run after the birds. This shot Hailey just kept going. I had to catch up to her and turn her around and point out another bird to chase that was in daddy's direction.

 She tried everything, Holding out her hands, squatting down and sneeking up on them.

When we first got to the beach (remember this is the start of our trip), Hailey had a blast chasing the birds. There were a lot of birds.
