On Saturday the whole family went apple picking! Some friends have a small apple orchard and a machine to make apple cider, so we spent the morning out there. It was a great time!
Is this a good one mom?
There were lots of rotten apples on the ground already and rather than trying to climb the trees to pick the apples, the boys would get up in one and shake it, and then we’d pick up the good apples that had just fallen off.
of course, the kids did pick a few!
But it was hard work!
Then they discovered how delicious they were to eat!
We couldn’t get Callista to try one for a long time but once she did there was no stopping her! I think she ate about 5 of them while we were out there!
Washing the apples
Grinding them up into mush…
and we have apple juice!!!
The juice is really good. I froze a whole bunch to save for hot apple cider in the fall and I’m going to make apple butter with some apples I brought home later today! YUM!!
