We are so excited about fall in this house! We all love this time of year. The weather is a little cooler, lots of fun things to do and yummy food! We have never been apple picking before and decide last Saturday that we would go. We like apples and we like going to places to pick your own (trees, pumpkins, strawberries, etc.), so we thought this would be fun. It was an hour and five minutes away, that wasn't bad. The new car, a.k.a. the bus or Bertha, entertains the kids and keeps them out of arms reach. We got there and there was a fun hayride up to where you pick the apples. We got to ride it back (because on the way up there was a birthday party, so we had to walk) and that was fun. Picking the apples was fun and challenging because they were running out and you really had look for them. After was got back down we bought some super yummy Wine Cake and apple cider slushys. Then the boys went to ride the tire swing. They loved it and now want one! Andy of course thinks it is too dangerous, but I think it would look awesome on the big old oak tree in our front yard.
The part that makes us say maybe we won't do this again...the cleaning of the apples. We have an apple tree and they always have these black spots on them and we just thought that is what they were suppose to look like. Well apparently it is mold. When you get the apples home you have to soak them in bleach water and then scrub, and I mean scrub, and mold spots off. This was a lot of work and Andy said after only doing half the half bushel that we got, that he was done with the apple picking. It was a fun experience, but cost a lot less at the farmer's market and no long scrubbing needed.
