We love going up to visit Grandma and Papa and today was a great day to go. We had so much fun!
Tillin' the garden with Papa
We picked tons of apples. 5 boxes just off this one tree
And my favorite part was picking the walnuts. Walnuts have a soft green shell over the actual shell shell of the nut.
They were way up on the very ends of all the branches so my dad had to climb up in the tree and shake all the limbs. I was in charge of keeping track of where they fell and gathering them up. Not often you get the opportunity to pick and shuck walnuts
Our walnut spoils...so not a lot of nuts but my parents actually grew this tree from a seed almost 20 years ago and this is it's first harvest, so pretty exciting
Evelyn swung all by her ownself. She has the leg motions backwards but she got going.

Kelsey and Steven, I love these pictures! I can't believe how much Evelyn has grown..She's adorable! Will you put some of these pictures on the Simms Family Blog? Have you seen the Torch Relay for the 2012 Simms Family Olympics? We sure wish you could come for it. If you can't come we'd sure love to hear from you though. We send our Love and please know how much we love getting pictures from you. Give Evelyn a hug and kiss from us. Love, Grandma & Grandpa Simms
