We went apple picking for the first time as grandparents.
We started apple picking one of the first years we began homeschooling.We found Oak Glen originally on one of the Community Home Education Programfield trips to Riley's Farmwhich has Revolutionary War history and re-enactments.
We continued the tradition well into high school and college yearsas our children began to findthe loves of their lives.
Those were years of transition for all of us.As our children found their way in the worldand I learned to let go and hold on.I wrote about the years of transitions many times here on my blog.
Going apple picking with them allwas a beautiful way to spend family time with their true loves.Who by the way are married and have been part of the family for years now.
I have always loved photography since high schoolwhen I was on Yearbook.The ability to capture moments in timethat can live onproviding a window back in life.

These two sweet kids ...
Now have two kids of their own.
It was such a joy to be back in the same orchardas grandparents.The joy I feel watching these two with theirsfills my heart.
Life has so many twists and turns.Some things don't turn out like you hopedand then otherslike having these two grandchildrenfar surpass any expectations.
They are both pure magic to me.
I think being a grandparent itselfis a magical experience.
This sweet girl wanted to make sure her momma had flowersfor the picture so she took some from her own bouquet.I am beyond grateful every daymy grandchildren have such loving parents.
I'm sharing a few more captures of our beautiful tripApple (and now flower) Picking.
