Apple Orchard 2016

It's hard to capture the girls these days.  Photos have petered out.  They don't do justice anymore.  Will have to do more videos.

Meanwhile it's good we have traditions, they force the subject of reminiscing.  And me, I am nostalgic for right now.  This moment is far too short and my ladies they are far too fast.  We've barely gotten started and already Evelyn is almost eighteen.

Now that fall is here we're off to our favorite, Anderson Orchards.

Taking these days, locking em in a safe and hiding it behind the painting.

 This place is amazing.

Gave them a speech about how photographs capture the face you are making at that moment.  Smiles are best.  Seems to have worked.

 Shaking the chestnut tree.

Evelyn likes this one because it's a picture of Juliet's butt.
I like it because it shows Juliet goes into an apple tree with a strategy.  A thinker, this one.

 Juliet, hamming.

 Juliet, invisible apple.

 Climbing to find the best fruit.

"Daddy, take one of only me."
Juliet, winning.

 Lydia, one of the most beautiful people in the world.

Waiting for the hay ride.
Evelyn took this one, a candid photo from a little pro.

 Piece of cake, this kid, family, life thing.

A few days out of the year, we get it 100% right.
