Apple Fest … A Look in History

How long ago was Apple Fest?  I actually lost count, thanks to my very blessed season of weddings. =)  It’s a long overdue story to tell … but it’s definitely worth telling because …

This is the first Apple Fest where we have a chance to eat BEAVER TAIL!!! muwahahaha …

And that means perfect chance of messy faces!!!  Look, how prepare mom is, with napkins in a very convenient place. =D

Aidan, make sure you include this in a slideshow when you get married!! =P

And for you too Reily, daddy invested $7.50 for this picture, lol.

Spending time with Chui family is always super fun!  Hi K!! =)

Guys, this WAY WAY better than IPAD!!!  Keep playing until you’re 10!!  That will help you stay outside and be healthy! 

 

Oh, this is the also the first season where they bought the ticket and the train broke! 

No biggy, mama power on the go!!!

 

A taste of apple cider.

and Apple!

Markham Apple Festival

Sometimes it’s just hard to believe temperature can change so quickly.  Three weeks ago, Aidan and Reily were still playing with splash without clothes on.  Today, they’re in jackets!  But that means it’s time for Apples Festival again!

Well, not a very good start for Reily.  Gosh … such a whiny kid!  But to be honest, with all that meat on his face, it’s still quite cute, for the first few minutes. =P

And it’s a delight to have our friends with us!

Aidan does what he does best, snacking!

Now, he has the right to remain SILIENCE!  But obviously, he’s just going to keep talking!

The happiest accused ever!

One of the highlights of the festival, apple peeling ‘the old school’ way!

This is no doubt Aidan’s favorite event, as he can enjoy the ‘consequence’ later.

Unlike his brother, who had 2 years experience, this is Reily’s first time doing this.

Well, technically, this can’t count as his first time, as he’s still too short for it.  So mommy will do the honour this time. 

And he surely enjoys the result!  Gotta love watching a chubby kid enjoying his apple while disregarding everything around him!

Even when he falls behind!

A little fun with old school toys!

And now Aidan’s annual train ride! =)

I still remember when Aidan had his first train ride alone last year, he was clueless and just sat there without much reaction.  It’s so touching to see so much difference this year!

I personally love this picture.  Can you count how many things are happening? =)

And this one on the left … it is taken on the train, one handed, while my other hand was pedalling. =P

I’m sure we’ll have more fun next year, when Reily is one year older and have more fun! =)

AppleFest from a mom

From a mom addressing to a son ...

... "The AppleFest at Markham Museum was the first of what I hope would be many fall outings of your first year of life.

There were historical buildings to see, apple cidar to drink, apple bread to taste,

miniature choo choo train to ride; too bad you were very sleepy, and were not old enough to enjoy any of these.

But I did take you on that railway cart thingie (that moved by pumping the handle) and your daddy took some pictures of us.

Maybe next year we will go again and you can go on the choo choo and have some fun. I am sure the apple pancakes will taste good too." ...

Well, there's no rehearsal between mommy's journal and daddy's pictures. So don't be surprised if they don't match up exactly. =)
