Yesterday, we went apple picking close to home. We've gotten apples there about 5 times. One year they didn't have any apples, and one year we just forgot. This year they came and let us know the apples were ready. It was a blast!! I was so bummed that I didn't bring my camera. The elderly gentleman brings out his ladder and holds it while the kids take turns getting the "best" apples from the tops of the trees. Too fun!! The trees were just LOADED. I brought two little paper bags from home, and Darling enjoyed getting to pick her own apples from the low branches and putting them in her own bag. Just too cute! :-) We brought them some homemade raspberry jam, which they said they were delighted to get, and then they brought out the empty jars from the jam we gave them last year! Too funny. They are just the sweetest couple.
I am looking so forward to apple pie, apple crisp, and my favorite apple strudel. I really need to get a apple corer, peeler, slicer. Anyone have a recommendation for what kind I should get?
