The Little Boys and Girls plus the Big Boys and Girls clubs had a great time apple picking today. The Beirne Family really made our group feel welcome. I think the moms and Jarrett Connor (the only dad on the scene) had as much fun as the children. We started off with the children playing in the "Crooked House" and posing behind the John Appleseed and the apple tree. Next we went picking, then we had cookies and cider, and finally back to the the Crooked House, posing picture, and feeding the animals. Thanks Mr. Bernie for giving the children grain to feed the animals. Check all the pictures from trip below.

The Family we left behind
Accidental we left the orchard without one family. We found them when they walked up the hill from the orchard. Sorry Jarrett and girls.

Sorry if I didn't get pictures of everyone especially the Big Boys. They were playing football and I am not sure what they were doing in the orchard. But I had fun with the picture I did get. Enjoy!
Thank you Gerard, Shelia, and Family
