I had taken the kids to the farmers market yesterday and Meadow wanted apples. I was like, hey it's apple picking season why don't we get our own? Scott had more shoots south of the Cities so we tagged along again. The jobs are small, shooting a big chain of paint stores, so we're able to get them out of the way and have some fun. I chose Whistling Well Farm as they had apple picking only. We aren't big fans of the carnival parts of apple farms. It wasn't too busy and everyone was wearing masks. They also had hand washing stations set up around the farm. Luckily the trees were small and perfect height for the kids to pick themselves. For $25 we got to pick one peck of Honeycrisp apples. Quite a deal! Theo got the hang of twisting the apples off the trees after a little practice. I always think we're done, but they always add more apples to our bag until it nearly explodes. We filled our bag up quick. I forget how much faster it goes compared to berry picking. 

I was supposed to go to Lake City this weekend to shoot some fall 360s for their tourism board . We were going to stay at a hotel and then go to the Red Wing shoe sale after. The leaves weren't changing colors, so we ended up just making plans to go to Red Wing. I needed new boots and Scott said I couldn't get the ones from Target because they'll fall apart. Meadow's eating a donut? I suppose she is. Now that I think about these were from Lindstrom. I had picked some donuts at their famed bakery. Theo's sad he didn't get a donut? I'm sure he got some sweets. Before we could go we had to change out our summer for our winter clothing. We have one small closet that Scott and I share so we trade out clothes seasonally. All my sweaters and long underwear were in our winter clothing bin. I'm knitting Theo a sweater for Christmas. Luckily he won't remember that I had to try it on him to make sure it's fitting. ...

Theo is now an expert at feeding himself. Still messy but at least he gets it mostly in his mouth.
