Apples & Peaches...

I am so glad that we are staying long enough in Boston for the Apple Picking Season! On our last farm visit, we only got to pick blueberries so this week, we headed to the Belkin Family Lookout Farm to pick APPLES and PEACHES!

Here we are at the Belkin Family Lookout Farm! Thank God for the beautiful weather!


Instructions on how to pay for the fruits that we pick...

As usual, Lil' Angel gets in for free!

Hurry, Mommy! We've got a train to catch! Yap, the farm is so HUGE that there is a train to bring us to the various plots to pick fruits...

Waiting for the train to set off...

Lil' Angel enjoying her "priority seat" meant for the picked fruits!

Picture with Mommy!

Why is the train not moving yet?

Yay...it's finally moving...

Lil' Angel looking at the fruit trees along the way...

We passed by apple trees, peach trees, plum trees, pear trees...


The first stop - Children's Play Area, Petting Zoo and Saturn Peach Trees...

There's Rudolf the Red-Nose Reindeer!

Time for Lil' Angel to run wild!

We are on the See-Saw...Daddy is sitting on the other end...

So it's no surprise that we shot all the way up!

Lil' Angel happily rocking on the piggy...

Oops...she is sliding off the seat...

Heehee..it's more fun sitting this way!

Let's see what else there is to play with....

Hello Goats!!
Baaaa...Badaaaa...

Lil' Angel wants to hop to the next pole...

We are the Apples of Daddy's eyes!

A SHY looking Bull...

A very SCARY & UGLY looking Bull!

Awwwww...Mr Caterpillar is sick!

Daddy...let's go fruit picking!

Ooohhhh.....peaches & nectarines...yummy!

Wow...guess what's above our heads?

Sour Grapes! They are sour, really...

Pretty peaches waiting to be picked!

Showing Lil' Angel how to pick peaches...

Our freshly plucked Saturn peach!

Lil 'Angel feeling the peach...It's fuzzy wuzzy!

We are back on the train to get to our next stop. Lil' Angel is very thirsty...

We have arrived at the Apple Trees...

Lots & lots of apples!

A is for....APPLE!

The apples are Big & Juicy looking....almost flawless!

Apple tasting...

Nothing beats a freshly picked apple! It's sweet & juicy...and FRESH of cos!

Off we go to pick more apples...

Here Caitlyn...there are some apples over here...

Ok, Mommy...let me take a look...

OOooohhh...yes...I see some nice apples...

I shall pick this apple!

Time for a little break! Mommy...would you like to do a photo shoot of me?

Pose #1 - Hands in the air...

Pose #2 - Looking up at the beautiful blue sky...

Pose #3 - Pose like a model...

Pose #4 - Doing the split...

Ok...enough of photo taking...

Let's see what else we can do...

Daddy...you may shoot me with the camera, not with the arrow ok??

Here's your apple, Caitlyn!

Thanks Mommy!

Off to pick more apples...

There's an apple beween my feet!

Ohhh..what's Daddy doing?

What's that in the sky?

Hahaha...Daddy just threw an apple up in the air....

See the apple??

Ouch! The apple hit my tummy! Oh DADDY!

Daddy showing off our pickings...

On board the train again...

Passing by plum trees...

I can sit by myself Daddy...

I like sitting this way...

Enjoying the breeze...

End of the ride! We are back at the entrance...

Is it just me or is there really a rabbit and a bear in the sky?

At the market place...

Cute looking scarecrows...not scary at all!

The scarecrows watching over the bottles of jams and fruit preserves...

The peaches look good!

The cakes look good too!

Popcorn, anyone?

Scarecrow and Us!

Bye, Farm!

Our pickings...One apple and Two peaches!

It was fun picking apples and peaches! Now I know that apples grow on trees and not in the supermarket!
