Apples!

The kids have wanted to go apple picking so we took them to Miller's. I expected picking to take awhile because I have memories of picking at the church farm and being there all day. Now I realize that's because we were pruning, picking, and working in the warehouse, so picking this time took no time at all. We allowed about an hour and it took about 15 minutes to pick two bushels! We got yummy, huge, tart, winesap apples. Isabelle and Braylen just wanted to hold the bags which got so heavy they couldn't even lift them. Isabelle wouldn't even go in the trees to pick because there were mushy gross apples she didn't want to step in. She's such a girl sometimes. Alekisio got the hang of twisting and pulling them off and filled up the bag almost as fast as I did. This was a few weeks ago and since then we've canned applesauce, pie filling, and we're doing apple butter. YUM!
