Apple Picking

One of the highlights of our trip was going apple picking. We took Mr. Mister to this same farm when he was just three months old. It is a beautiful place with rows and rows of apple trees and it was the perfect chilly fall day to be there. We took a hayride out to the orchard, picked 3 bushels of very yummy apples (120 pounds!), and maybe tasted a few along the way. We split all those apples between 5 families, but that still gave us more than enough apples each. If you have any good and easy apple recipes, let me know!

Here are some pictures. They're all from the apple orchard except the last one. It's just a great picture of Fall at Grandma and Papa's lake.

Helping Grandma - I'm sure he was gently putting them in the bag.

A perfect picture of Fall.
