Apple "Ball" Picking

My friend Hayley took her two boys apple picking near her hometown, and her pictures inspired me to find a local farm that did apple picking. So Saturday, the whole family headed to Irons Fruit Farm in Lebanon for some family fun down on the farm. Tessa loved picking the "balls" off the tree. We probably picked well over 100 apples that morning...all for a mere $13.

That afternoon, we actually went to Kings Island for the second time this summer for P&G day. Thanks, Steve and Mary for the tickets. This time around it was a lot more crowded, though Tessa still had fun and rode a handful of rides.

We are looking forward to more family fun this weekend. I'm hoping to hit up our first pumpkin patch!
