Apple Picking for the First Time

Believe it or not, I've never been apple picking.  Or if I have, I don't remember it! Our friend Judi and her daughter Hanna joined us for the adventure.  And she introduced us to apple cider doughnuts and Apple Cider slushies! If I had known how good they were, I would not have brought a lunch!  I lost my smaller camera and can only post some of our pictures from the day.

 Hard at work.

 Ashton couldn't go on without a bite of apple!

Brenna needed a snack as well.

And Sarah joined in as well!

I love this shot! 

 And here is our friend Hannah. 

The girls started getting a little scary looking...

So we took a break.

 

And this picture sums up Brenna perfectly!  She even eats apples with an attitude!

And we did manage to bring a half a bushel of apples home.  After the apple donuts and apple cider slushies entered the picture, the kids took a break on the apples!  From that bushel, I made some apple butter, apple pancakes, apple fritters, apple sauce and an apple pie!  We'll be heading up to pick Granny Smith Apples soon!
