A Glorious Day for Apples

Sharon and Chaz are visiting this weekend, and this morning we all decided to take the girls to a local orchard. Sharon was almost as excited as C!

The weather could not have been more perfect: blue sky, warm sun, and cool breezes. We picked some Gala (which are OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious), Jonathon, Red and Golden Delicious and some Honey Crisp apples. The Honey Crisp was the biggest disappointment. They were small, few and far between. These are my favorite apples ever! They run close to $3/lb in the grocery store, but all apples at the orchard were only $0.62/lb, so my bargain shopper gene was going haywire. Maybe next year they'll be bigger?


It was a great time. The place was not busy at all, and they had free parking and free tractor rides. We will definitely be going back for our pumpkins in a few weekends!

That was so much fun! I've already eaten 3 apples today!

That looks like a great time! I especially love the photo of Caelyn feeding Elise an apple. My boys love to eat whole apples (although they seldom eat the whole thing).
