Apple Picking

We decided to go apple picking in mid-September after I heard about this apple orchard not too far from us called Apples and Alpacas. They have short apple trees that are perfect for little ones to help do the picking and it was only 90 cents a pound. The boys were pretty excited about our apple adventure and they both "needed" their own bucket.


It didn't take them long to get straight to work picking the apples.


Westyn cracked me up because he mostly insisted on carrying his own bucket, even when it was getting heavy.


It didn't take long before we had nearly two full buckets of apples. The boys were pretty proud of their work collecting apples.


We hauled the buckets back to the store. While Justin went inside to pay, the boys took a little break after all that hard work.


When Justin came out, he said we had about 30 pounds of apples! Wow! What do you do with 30 pounds of apples? Well, first you go home a make a fresh apple pie!

 
So, I learned all about storing apples and I have about 4 apple pie fillings in the freezer ready to pop into a pie at a moments notice. We had a lot of fun apple picking and now that we know about this little orchard, we will definitely make this a family tradition!
