We went apple picking this afternoon. P. loves apple picking. He says it is very fun and he also likes that there's red, ripe, juicy apples everywhere. We got to take a hay ride out to the picking area and we picked about 9 pounds of apples. K. thought it was so cool to be able to pick the apples right out of the tree. M. loved to suck the juice out (after we bit a chunk out of it). We all had some "samples" of the apples as we picked and I can think of few things better on a fall day. We got to sample some grapes grown there and some cider, too. A quart of the cider and some honey made their way home with us, as well as the apples.
We made some apple crisp and some homemade vanilla ice cream tonight and we will be making some applesauce this week. Nothing better than fresh apples to make applesauce with!
