This year we went apple picking at the Flynn's orchard with our friends, the McArthurs. They recently moved to Omaha (for only a year *sniff sniff*), but what a fun family! They have five kiddos--four girls and one little boy. Their oldest is Em's age and the two girls are good friends. Kari also has a buddy as well and their little boy is Ju Ju's age.
So, after piling as many people as possible into the gator (with the rest of us trailing on foot), we set to work picking lots and lots of apples! We LOVE this tradition and are so grateful to Pat Flynn for continuing to open up her property for everyone.

| Pretty Emily, growing up so (too) fast! |

| My handsome fellas |
 |
| My beautiful girls! |
 |
| Check out Christian's funny face--he must've found a yucky apple! |
 |
| Silly Kari |

This photo may be the one (and only) picture of everyone looking at the camera and smiling.
If you have a big family, you know what an anomaly this really is. |

| I'm pretty sure at least part of Heaven looks just like the Flynn's property. |
More silly Kari.
We're back and moving on to the cider-press! The bees think cider-making is pretty great too and poor Christian got bitten or stung right on his ear! Luckily, Pat had some baking soda and ice and that helped him to feel better.
The kids all love this gigantic swing on the most perfect tree. Christian went on it with the littles and Emily and Gracie took it to new heights!
What a fantastically-fun evening!!!
