The Little Red Hen

We spent most of last week in western NY with Sean's family. Sean's mom decided it would be fun to head over to the you-pick apple orchard by their house. We enjoy picking apples, so we headed over.
Well, it was FREEZING! The wind was blowing really hard and it was really cold outside. Bethanie, Brady, and I immediately ran back to the van and turned on the heat after only looking down one isle of trees.
Grandma and Sadie picked up their bags and went to work. The two of them picked a couple of bushels of apples.
When Sean was finally able to track them down the three of them picked out a pumpkin and loaded up the car.

The next day the grand kids got the pumpkin out to carve. The other grand kids lasted about 5 minutes when it came time to gut the pumpkin and clean it out. Sadie was there up until the very last minute! She had pumpkin in her hair, all over her clothes, all over her arms, etc. She even ate some of the raw pumpkin!
Sadie took great pride in that pumpkin. I was very proud of her for sticking with it.


Sadie was definitely the "Little Red Hen" of the bunch.
