Apple Orchard

It has become a family tradition to pick apples in the fall. We started this tradition when Marissa was just a little baby when our friends Chris and Vicki first took us to an apple orchard. After a couple of years of going and picking just enough apples to enjoy eating, we started going to pick apples to make homemade applesauce and apple butter.

Yesterday was a beautiful day to go and pick apples. We had decided that was what we were going to do while Jeremy's parents were in to visit. As you can see from the pictures we all had lots of fun. By the way between all of us we picked 4 bushels of apples. In fact I am posting this blog in between batches of applesauce. I can tell you this, my house smells really good right now! I think we will be enjoying our homemade goodies until sometime next year.

This was after we were done picking apples, as you can see everyone was enjoying a little snack.

There's Jeremy climbing up in the tree to get the best looking apples, of course those are the ones that no one else could reach. Him and Stephani had a pretty good system down.

Marissa was watching her daddy and figured she could climb the tree too, but she couldn't let go long enough to pick any apples.



The girls did a great job, looking for the perfect apples to pick.




Myah needed a little help from grandpa to reach some of those apples way up high.

uh oh..........did i do that?

Considering our morning started off pretty cold, the day turned out to be a perfect day to be out and picking apples. This always gets me ready for fall. We had fun sharing our family tradition with our Grammy & Grandpa and Aunt Duffy. Thanks for going with us!
