Apple Orchard

Today we went with our next-door neighbors to an apple orchard about 20 miles away. Jennifer is my friend, and her cute little boy is Rylin. The orchard had lots of varieties of apples, and when you pick your own, they are a little cheaper. They also let you eat as many as you want while you're picking. It was a lot of fun showing the girls what an "orchard" was, since none of them knew. It sure beats learning it from a picture in a book. Next month, they'll have a Pumpkin Fest, where we can pick pumpkins, go on hay rides, a petting zoo, and other fun stuff. I hope we can go...






What shocked me was how many apples went to waste!! It was sad to see all the apples on the ground and still tons more in the trees. Maybe next year, I'll be more equipped to get lots of apples (i.e. a canner, juicer, jars, money:), etc.).

  1. Mmmmm. How fun!! Some of the apples that don't get sold to people like you guys will go to making juices and such, no worries, they won't be as wasted as you think they will.
