Fruit picking

Yesterday we headed out to a local fruit farm to go apple picking. The farm is about 30 mins away so we just enjoyed the drive while Clara napped. When we got there we learned that apple season here in south Texas is during the summer and all the apples were already gone! Boy were we disappointed! They did have figs ripe and ready to pick so we did that instead. Ella had a blast picking (and mostly eating) figs right off the tree. Clara even tried a bite! They are so sweet! We picked about 3 lbs and are just snacking on them. It was not enough to really make anything with.

They have a huge pumpkin patch in October with hay rides, a corn maze, pumpkin painting, and a petting zoo so that will be fun to take Ella to this year. It's starting to become so much fun taking her places since she understands a lot more. 

After we picked figs we ate lunch at their little cafe and then had Apple ice cream straight out of a machine, it was delish!

Here is a sweet video of Ella picking a fig for Nana. She loves her Nana and knows she likes figs.

Enjoy :)
