What a perfect day to pick apples! So that is exactly what we headed out to do today. The weather was nice and sunny not too hot, not too cool, just an excellent day to pick that perfect big juicy apple! We went to
Solebury Orchards, they have a
variety of fruit to pick, also some goodies in their nice little orchard shop. So we got our bucket and off we went into the apple orchard to find the perfect apple!
Dave making sure that he is picking an apple that is just the right shade of red. "You have to make sure that the apple is just perfect you don't want to pick them too soon."
And by the looks of it, that apple must be the perfect one!
Just checking it one more time before adding it to the basket.
Look at my apple!! It's going to be so juicy and sweet.
We picked about 45 pounds of apples, of course some went to us, Pies and Beegee, and to Nan to use in the tea room. So if you go to the tea room in the near future you will be eating the apples that Dave picked all by himself!
We also picked some raspberries and blackberries. Which do take quite a bit longer to pick than apples, but Dave still enjoyed looking for the really red raspberries and the very black blackberries.
Dave finding some of the really, really, really red raspberries.
Look at this really black blackberry.
Adding the last few blackberries to the quart.
And we found one very tiny baby turtle on the this piece of wood. 
Then it was into the Nature Center, after a very successful turtle find, to see what else we could do today. Dave checking out different animal tracks.
Here Dave is putting on a puppet show for us.
And then he remembered that the Nature Center has a giant stuffed snapping turtle, so we had to make sure to say Hello to him.
Then it was time to start the scavenger hunt. Here Dave and Nan are stopping to see what animals they can hear as we go along the path.

Next it was off the field of bubbles. Here Dave is trying to make a really huge bubble!
And then one last visit back to see that giant snapping turtle in the Nature Center. But he had to use binoculars this time!!!!!
Dave in the 
Dave making some music. They had all kinds of items set up to make music with, Dave made sure that he tried every one of them.
Here they are blowing some huge bubbles, this was a big hit!!
And the best part of all Dave got to ride P.J. the pony! I'm not sure if he wants to be a fireman or a cowboy more. Maybe a horse riding fireman?!
Dave hiking up the big hill.
And on their way up the hill they found a snake! Look closely at the bottom of the tree and you'll see him.
On their way back from the hike they spotted some fish!
And of course, they had to stop and say hello to the ducks.
Everyone kicking their soccer balls down the field.
Dave kicking his ball against the wall to wake up Fred.
The kids listening to the wall the see if Fred is awake and ready to go to his own soccer practice!
