Apple Picking


So I realized I never posted pictures from our apple picking. We went as a ward to MacQueen's apple orchard. Ken had to work so Russ (Ken's brother), who was visiting us to help us fix our roof, came along to help instead. I think we waited to late this year to go picking cause the trees were very picked over and the only apples had to be reached by ladders. I am so glad Russ was there to help lift the kids up. The kids had a lot of fun and we got a lot of yummy apples that we used to make crisp, apple butter, and just ate. The kids were disappointed when we went to get a donut (or as Jordan calls them bagels with frosting and sprinkles) and discovered they were all out. Donuts were a huge hit last year and they had been looking forward to them all year.

Jordan had so much fun picking the apples. She picked most of our apples for us.
Kailyn ran off with her friends for most of the time but did help us pick a few.

Caden picking apples.

Caden was so proud of every apple he successfully picked.
Caden wanted to carry the apples. He gave it a good try, but didn't go anywhere.

Our little taste testers.

How fun! I want to find an orchard here so I can make applesauce.
