October the beginning..

So just like September this month is flying by and we have a lot to catch up on.  The first Saturday went for a four-wheeler ride up the canyon to see the leaves. And aside from the rain it was really nice. Madison was pretending to sleep on the four-wheeler when we stopped for a few minutes.
 I wasn't sure how Allie would like wearing a helmet while we were riding, but she actually liked having it on.
 
    

C.J. found a bright orange tree and picked a perfect leaf.  He was excited because orange is his favorite color.  The trees had such amazing colors this year.  They were so bright and beautiful.
After the rain kicked us off the mountain we headed to g and g Bogh's house where the apple trees were loaded and ready to be picked.  The big girls picked a few and put them in a bag to take home, but C.J. was on a quest to find the brightest red apple on the tree.  He was pretty intense about it.  He would pick one and rub it off to see how red it was, put it in his bag and move on to see if there was a brighter one.
There pictures were taken in a small section of one tree, I know they had a least three. Take a look at all of those apples, there were tons of them.  I am happy to say that we turned some into apple crisp and others into caramel apple pie, both very tasty.  We have also eaten alot of them.  They are the perfect size for the kids.

Allie also loved the apples she found a grassy spot and munched on this apple for a while, she must have liked it a lot because since then every food is called an apple.  So cute.
