2 Years, 11 Months, and 3 Weeks

Ruby & Charlotte are 2 years, 11 months, and 3 weeks old today. They like to play hide & seek (though they hide in the exact same spot each time no matter how quickly they are always found) and "Tag, you're it!" which entails them running back and forth across the room together while they take turns tagging each other. It suddenly feels like fall weather here, so we took advantage of it and drove to Royal Oaks Apple Farm yesterday and had a wonderful time. Enjoy the photos!

Looking for the right spot to begin picking raspberries:

Charlotte liked picking the raspberries, but did not want to eat any:

Ruby ate more raspberries than she put in the basket, and did not want to leave the picking area when we were finished ("I'll just pick one more." which turned into many more that she immediately ate):

Charlotte decided to add leaves & flowers to her basket instead of raspberries at one point:

We did end up with 2 full pints:

Ruby was adamant about carrying her own basket of raspberries everywhere:

I tried to teach Charlotte the correct way to blow on a dandelion without ending up with the seeds in your mouth:

They decided to roll in the grass for a bit:


They wanted to know why the tractor was not moving after they started "driving" it:

They fed the goats:

After almost 4 hours there, we left and they fell asleep on the way home:
