Apple picking and airplanes with the Beastons

The first weekend of October we headed out to Julian to a winery where they were having an apple festival. Shauna and her family joined us and we all had lots of fun. There were crafts, music, food, wine tasting and beer so everyone was happy. :)

My sweet little girl.

And a playful little boy.

Both kids wanted to ride the ponies. Tatum has come a long way from screaming and refusing to get near a pony when she was 2. Now she can't wait to jump on!

I thought Ty would be afraid but nope, total boy. Couldn't wait to jump on and loved every minute of it.

Shauna got these cute pics of the kids and it's funny, Ty really looks like he's riding that horse!

Then we all headed down the path to Raven Hill Orchard where we did some apple picking. We went to this orchard last year and loved it so we were back for more fun. Here's Tatum with Caty, her fashion guru. :)

Both kids loved searching the trees for the perfect apples.

And Ty loved this tractor!

Here's Mom with Patti. We all have such a wonderful time with the Beastons!

After stomping through the orchard, we headed to the Blue Door Winery...

and enjoyed some laughs. I love this photo of Garrett and Rick! What was so funny? :)

Ty took a bite out of this apple and Shauna caught his reaction. Obviously a sour apple. :)

The next morning we all gathered at the Miramar Air Show. Here's me with Amber, Katy and Patti. Some of us weren't prepared for the glaring sun so we made some hat purchases. :)

Garrett with Michael and Katy.

Ty with Amber, so cute.

And his very important Shaw!

Tatum with Toni. Can you tell Tatum's excited to see her? :)

At the air show, they had tons of jets, planes, helicopters, etc. that you could climb into, the kids loved it.

Ty was amazed by all the planes and wanted to get in each one. He loved it!

You can't tell by this picture but we had waited in line to get a chance to sit in this cock pit (which is very hard for a two year old and he had a few melt downs during the wait when I wouldn't let him cut ahead in line). But after he checked out all the buttons and it was our time to go, it was a bad scene. He gripped on to that steering thing and refused to go. I had to rip him out, amongst serious kicking and screaming, and in the process my flip flop broke. So I had to drag my child, in football hold, from this large plane among a large crowd, with one shoe. Great moment.

The show was awesome, so many planes and tricks. Really fun to watch. I think we'll wait a few more years before going back so the kids are a bit older and able to appreciate it more. But lots of fun...
